Really helpful look at the continuity of scripture and its centrality being rooted in Jesus across both Old and New Testaments. This book would/will be especially beneficial to new believers as they endeavor to enjoy God's Word as it ought to be read (As Jesus opened it to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus).

Every Christian should read this

It's Pastoral , concise, encouraging. It contains topics within a Reformed textbook, but made accessible, without having to read a dense textbook on Covenant Theology e.g. Horton or Renihan. (Your mum, wife, teenage Christian layperson would understand it).

I was be "beat up" by Law heavy preaching e.g. Arminianism, pentecostalism, Washer, MacArthur, but this Moffitt book really helped me to understand Reformed Theology.
The entire Bible is Christian! For its about Jesus

[Eric Olsson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book gives an excellent set of mental tools for reading the Bible and finding Jesus in it.

As an example, one of the tools the author calls “Contrast.” It reminds us to keep the law-gospel distinction separate while reading Scripture.

It is written well. I plan on keeping it nearby for quick reminders.

This is an absolutely fantastic introduction to hermeneutics written in a very easy to read manner for every Christian. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to understand how to read the Bible (which should be every Christian).

[Andrew Pressnell · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent intro to hermeneutics, but even more, Moffitt’s focus on the law/Gospel distinction would inform the most academic of hermeneutics textbooks.

Christians would profit far more from reading this sub-200 page book than they would reading most hermeneutics textbooks.

This is by far one of the best books I've ever read about knowing how to read the bible correctly. It's literally life changing when you finally understand the bible, and this book will help you get there. Don't even hesitate, just get it. You will blessed for the rest of your life because of it.
