Law & Gospel: 10th Anniversary Edition
By William McDavid, Ethan Richardson, and David Zahl
$18.00
Description
Here is an exquisite condensation of immense biblical wisdom. If pastors and congregations would read and study this book, we would experience a profound shift in the moralistic, anxiety-producing, hopelessness-generating direction that most of American Christianity has gone. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
— Chad Bird, author of Unveiling Mercy
There’s a big difference between judgment and love, obligation and freedom, a wage and a gift. The difference characterizes an extraordinary amount of our day-to-day experience, often dividing fear from hope, and death from life. At the heart of Christianity lies a similar and related dynamic: between the Law and the Gospel. Far from being reductive or antiquated, this distinction allows a person to see both the Bible and themselves—indeed, the whole world!—in a fresh and enlivening way. Written with the non-theologian in mind, this short volume unpacks the good news of God’s grace with practicality, humor, and a whole lot of heart.
This updated and expanded edition includes a new preface by David Zahl and a reader’s guide with questions for individuals and groups.
