Law and Gospel

by White Horse Inn Sola Media, Robert M. Hiller, Michael Horton

Understanding the difference between law and gospel opens the Scriptures to faithful understanding. But failing to distinguish law and gospel in God’s word can do significant damage to the faith of the Good Shepherd’s beloved sheep. Confusing law and gospel is dangerous because it leads the sheep away from Christ and into pride, despair, or a false sense of security. In this booklet, White Horse Inn hosts Michael Horton and Bob Hiller explain the essential biblical distinction between law and gospel, helping readers see how these categories are derived from Scripture, recovered in the sixteenth-century Reformation, and applied to daily life.

This is the best very concise summary on this important topic. There is not much written clearly on this issue, in the modern era. Still looking for a more in depth treatment. So many people get this wrong. Ditches on both sides.

A must read! Best concise intro to the law/gospel distinction and it’s theology. Read this and pearl of Christian comfort by Dathenus

This is a well distilled little book. Recommended.

Excellent truths are found in this short and easily digestible book. Very encouraging and easy to grasp. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that there are a decent number of typos; not too much to be distracting, but enough to notice. Even still, I would highly recommend this book!

The book was a fun read. An awesome primer to Law & Gospel distinction and great for Christian assurance, understanding the uses of Law & Gospel and how to not collapse the two and putting them in their rightful places.

Short and very helpful. My new go-to for distinguishing law and gospel.

Extremely helpful intro to the Law/Gospel distinction! Let’s recover this hermeneutic.
