Rightly Dividing the Word
September/ October 2010

Law and gospel is not as much a way of reading the Bible as the basic categories one finds in the Bible itself. It means distinguishing instruction from declaration, command from promise, "Do this" from "Christ has done," and our best efforts from Christ's work on our behalf. Understanding the Bible is how we arrive at maturity--it is how we find Jesus where we need him most. In this issue in our yearlong theme of "Recovering Scripture," we seek to discover what it means to "rightly handle the word of truth." We begin with an introduction to "law and gospel" by Sean Norris, followed by Michael Horton's discussion of the Old and New Testament and what they have to do with each other. Next up, White Horse Inn producer Shane Rosenthal reflects upon narcissistic Bible reading. Finally, as recovering Scripture sometimes means saving the Bible from ourselves, we're featuring a series of short studies on familiar passages that are frequently misinterpreted. These essays by nine pastor-theologians represent our way of pressing home the importance of theologically informed Bible study. Also in this issue: Michael Horton's interview of Tim Keller as he talks about "belief in an age of skepticism."
