For evangelicals, the main purpose of reading and understanding the Bible is to know God and his will for our lives.

This is where the study of hermeneutics comes in. Graeme Goldsworthy examines the foundations and presuppositions of evangelical belief as it applies to the interpretation of the Bible. He then surveys the hermeneutical history of the Christian church in an attempt to see where alien approaches have deconstructed our way of reading Scripture. Finally, he reconstructs an evangelical hermeneutics rightly centered in the gospel and rightly influenced by the method of biblical theology.

"The focus of Gospel-Centered Hermeneutics is not word studies but 'Word study': a sustained reflection on the priority and centrality of the good news concerning Jesus Christ as the distinct way that Scripture interprets Scripture and, indeed, all of reality. And by highlighting the gospel of Jesus Christ, he puts the evangel back into evangelical hermeneutics." Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
