I recently wrote a review of Mockingbird’s new book, Law & Gospel: A Theology for Sinners (and Saints) in which the fine folks over at Mockingbird presented a clear and Biblical teaching on law and gospel. Here is an excerpt from the book on why the gospel is called news. If you haven’t already, be sure to pick up your copy and read it ASAP.

This quote:
“Again, we see that news, depending on the hearer, may be infinitely more significant than knowledge. The latter equips the secondary self, the one who adapts to and manages the world, but the former may address the inner man behind the armor. The predicament of the hearer matters”
Amen!
