Graeme Goldsworthy's In These Last Days: The Dynamics of Biblical Revelation emphasizes the dynamic nature of divine revelation. Goldsworthy illustrates throughout his work that God is not static. Rather, he is always actively involved in history, both in the life of Israel and the church. Goldsworthy argues that understanding these historical contexts in the Old and New Testaments is crucial for proper interpretation. Divided into four sections exploring God's word, being, actions, and people, In These Last Days offers a biblical and theological guide to accurately interpreting and applying Scripture for the life of the church today.

Overview

Offering a "big picture" of divine revelation, Graeme Goldsworthy's In These Last Days: The Dynamics of Biblical Revelation underscores the importance of the historical nature of divine revelation. God is not static; he acts in history, which is why not all parts of Scripture relate in exactly the same way to other portions of Scripture. Acknowledging these historical acts, Goldsworthy invites readers to a more careful reading and application of Scripture. Unless we read texts in terms of their location in the progress of divine revelation, Goldsworthy contends that we will inevitably misunderstand and misapply those biblical texts.

The book comprises four sections:

  • The Word of God
  • The Being of God
  • The Doing of God
  • The People of God

In an age of growing biblical illiteracy, In These Last Days provides basic biblical and theological literacy for how the church can rightly divide and apply the Word for its daily lives.
