The WTS Bookstore is making available Doug Moo’s book, The Old Testament in the Gospel Passion Narratives. I believe this book is based on his dissertation. You can see the book here.

Exegetical Fallacies
Posted by Chad under Bible, Hermeneutics, New Testament, Old Testament, Preaching, Recommendations[3] Comments
I have tried to be very careful not to make my blog about the latest thing in Evangelicalism that is frustrating me, but I have to say something now. Bad exegesis exists everywhere, but for some reason, within the last two months I have read and/or heard many respected Reformed Evangelical preachers/teachers commit the errors highlighted in D. A. Carson’s book, Exegetical Fallacies. I was very disappointed and wondered if they had ever read Carson’s book. Thus, I make a plea to every pastor, teacher, and Christian out there–read and re-read Carson’s book. Even if you don’t know Hebrew or Greek the overall insights in the book are invaluable. If you have not read Carson’s book; please buy a copy, read it, and pass it on to a friend.

I recently preached from Hebrews 12:1-11. The title of the sermon is Living as Sons of God. I unpack what sonship looks like for the church in light of the true Son–Jesus Christ. You can hear the audio here.

What does the gospel mean to us? It should mean everything. It is not just merely the message of salvation, but sanctification and glorification. The gospel is not something I believe and then graduate to something “deeper” and “better.” The gospel is everything we need for the Christian life. To be gospel-centered means to be Christ-centered. I appreciate what Goldsworthy says about the gospel.
When we speak of the centrality of the gospel we refer to the fact that every aspect of our salvation stems from the gospel. We mean that the gospel is truly the power of God for salvation in that it is through the gospel we are called, regenerated, converted, sanctified, and finally glorified. We mean that Jesus Christ, God come in the flesh, as he lived, died and rose again, gave meaning to all history and human existence. We mean that the gospel is the only means we have of beginning, continuing, and persevering in the Christian life . . . . When we approach sanctification as attainable by any means other than the gospel of Christ–the same gospel by which we are converted–we have departed from the teaching of the New Testament. (Goldsworthy, The Gospel in Revelation, 171)
