About this title

Review

"Amongst a spate of hermeneutics books, why should this one receive special consideration by readers interested in the subject? The first reason is the author. Graeme Goldsworthy has contributed numerous years in the classroom and multiple volumes in print to help the world understand the Bible better. The second reason why this book should receive special attention is because it offers so very clearly a general hermeneutics textbook from a well honed 'gospel-centered' approach. His summaries, bullet points, and analyses make this quite a usable text and a welcome contribution."--Matthew Cook, Evangelical Review of Theology, July 2008

"The book is stellar in focusing on Christ as the hermeneutic of Scripture and reality. . . . It is a challenging and worthwhile read for the serious student."--Doug Smith, SharperIron.org, February 20, 2008

"Goldsworthy articulates how we should interpret the whole Bible in light of the gospel. This is a readable book that is concerned first and foremost with the pastoral situation."--Preaching, Bible and Reference Survey 2007

"Not a book best handled with casual reading. Rather, it is the type of book that must be approached with a certain level of hermeneutical angst and a willingness to perceive one's own hermeneutical shortcomings. It is also the type of book that should be read more than once, perhaps annually for a decade or so."--Miles Van Pelt, Reformation21.org, April 1, 2007

"Goldsworthy demonstrates the need for a robust biblical theological method that exalts Jesus, which is exactly what his book does."--Andrew David Naselli, JETS, June 2008

"This book is clearly written by an evangelical for evangelicals. Goldsworthy does present some helpful and balanced suggestions for hermeneutics, particularly when he writes of the need to do hermeneutics in the context of biblical theology as a whole."--Wilburn T. Stanch, Catholic Book Reviews, January 2008

"One of the more significant books of the year."--Preaching, November/December 2007

"This book was written to be a textbook, and will make a good one. It almost shouts 'I'm a ready-made syllabus!'"--Rich Ritchie, Modern Reformation, May/June 2007
