Description:

Why is there resurgence in a discussion primarily about hermeneutics? Perhaps, some of the popularity of the Christ-centered hermeneutic comes from a generation of Christians that long for a more biblically grounded understanding of Scripture.

Interestingly enough, I have found that while many pastors argue for the importance of Christ-centeredness, there is disagreement on what it should look like. For this reason I recently asked several leading pastors and theologians to examine and discuss Christ-Centered preaching at my blog.

They included:
• Dr. Daniel Block (Wheaton College)
• Dr. David Murray (Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary)
• Dr. Walt Kaiser (Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary)
• Dr. Bryan Chapell (Grace Presbyterian in Peoria, IL)

Appendix One and Two are built from a discussion The Gospel Project we hosted earlier this year.

The e-book is a compliation of these essays that we hope will advance the conversation.

In the series, the authors looked at both the strengths and weaknesses of adopting a Christ-centered hermeneutic. Because of the popularity of the series and its usefulness to the local church, we decided to compile the posts into this e-book.
