In "Gospel-Centered Hermeneutics," Graeme Goldsworthy embarks on a transformative journey into the heart of biblical interpretation, challenging and refining evangelical hermeneutics through the lens of theology. With a profound understanding of the intricate relationship between scripture, systematic theology, and hermeneutics, Goldsworthy critiques the conventional approaches that have long dominated evangelical thought. He argues for a hermeneutical practice deeply rooted in the Christian gospel, proposing a radical shift away from traditional methods towards a theology-centered approach. This book is not just an academic treatise but a passionate call to rediscover the gospel at the core of biblical interpretation. Through a meticulous examination of hermeneutical foundations, historical developments, and contemporary applications, Goldsworthy seeks to dismantle presuppositions that have distanced evangelical hermeneutics from its gospel-centric essence. Part historical survey, part theological discourse, "Gospel-Centered Hermeneutics" offers a compelling overview of the evolution of interpretive practices while showcasing the paramount importance of integrating biblical theology into hermeneutical methodology. Goldsworthy’s vision is both a critique and a beacon, guiding readers towards a more faithful and gospel-aligned understanding of Scripture that resonates with both the mind and the heart of the Christian community.

Moves beyond a reiteration of the usual arguments to concentrate on the theological questions and implications of the Christian Gospel for hermeneutics. - Alistair Begg
The Gospel presents us with the righteousness of Jesus Christ, who, in his earthly life, perfectly interpreted the word of his Father. In so doing he justified the fallible attempts of his people to interpret the word. The justification of our hermeneutics by the perfect hermeneutics of Christ is the motivation for us to strive for hermeneutical sanctification.
— Graeme Goldsworthy, Gospel-Centered Hermeneutics
