Gospel-Centered Hermeneutics

I am currently reading Gospel Centered Hermeneutics by Graeme Goldsworthy for my Biblical Hermeneutics course in seminary (reading ahead when you first get the syllabus is not cheating). :)

Do you have any idea how much Vos and Van Til I had to slog through to reach the sorts of conclusions which Goldsworthy concisely places into the first 90 or so pages of this book? It’s just not fair. Anyone who receives and reads a copy of this book early on in their Christian life should have to read it with one black eye just so those of us who didn’t have it available to us won’t feel quite as disadvantaged. Just kidding.

But seriously, read this book or you deserve a black eye. Chapters 16-18 are individually worth the price of the book. With their powers combined, you will be unstoppable.

If I had to pick, here's my favorite quote:
"To those who say that we need the law first - that is, we need to perceive our problem before we will flee to God for grace, we must reply that such an assertion assumes the ability without grace to understand the law as natural law. The gospel is the clearest explication of the law, both in its perfect fulfillment and in the effects of its being broken." -p.226
