Christ-Centered Biblical Theology

  

Those who appreciate the work of Graeme Goldsworthy will be interested to know that he has a new book out entitled Christ-Centered Biblical Theology. "In this valuable complement to his Gospel-Centered Hermeneutics, Goldsworthy defends and refines the rationale for his approach, drawing especially on the work of Australian biblical scholar Donald Robinson."
