At first thought, understanding the doctrine of the love of God seems simple compared to trying to fathom other doctrines like that of the Trinity or predestination. Especially since the overwhelming majority of those who believe in God view Him as a loving being.
That is precisely what makes this doctrine so difficult. The only aspect of God's character the world still believes in is His love. His holiness, His sovereignty, His wrath are often rejected as being incompatible with a loving God. Because pop culture has so distorted and secularized God's love, many Christians have lost a biblical understanding of it and, in turn, lost a vital means to knowing who God is.
The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God seeks to restore what we have lost. In this treatment of many of the Bible's passages regarding divine love, noted evangelical scholar D. A. Carson not only critiques sentimental ideas such as God hates the sin but loves the sinner, but provides a compelling perspective on the nature of God and why He loves as He does. Carson blends his discourse with discussion of how God's sovereignty and holiness complete the biblical picture of who He is and how He loves.
In doing away with trivialities and cliches, this work gets to the heart of this all-important doctrine from an unflinching evangelical perspective. Yet it does so without losing its personal emphasis: for in understanding more of the comprehensive nature of God's love as declared in His Word, you will come to understand God and His unending love for you more completely.
In a world that views absolute truth, right and wrong, and salvation as being subject to individual interpretation, the Bible's unwavering proclamations and miraculous stories seem obsolete in modern times. But it is not God's Word that has changed. Indeed, its relevancy and its power to transform lives are intact. What has changed is the number of people who consult it. Now more than ever the need to read the Bible, to understand the big picture of its storyline, and to grasp the relevance this has for your life is critical.
As with its companion volume, For the Love of God-Volume 2, this devotional contains a systematic 365-day plan, based on the M'Cheyne Bible-reading schedule, that will in the course of a year guide you through the New Testament and Psalms twice and the rest of the Old Testament once.
In an effort to help preserve biblical thinking and living, D. A. Carson has also written thought-provoking comments and reflections regarding each day's scriptural passages. And, most uniquely, he offers you perspective that places each reading into the larger framework of history and God's eternal plan to deepen your understanding of his sovereignty-and the unity and power of his Word.

Falacias Exegéticas de D. A. Carson, es un baúl de herramientas esenciales para la interpretación de la Biblia. Al nombrar las falacias, Carson, nos ha ayudado a identificarlas y a evitarlas. Este estudio es importante porque las falacias exegéticas son desgraciadamente muy frecuentes entre nosotros, los que por gracia de Dios tenemos la responsabilidad de proclamar fielmente la Palabra de Dios. Si cometemos un error al interpretar la Palabra De Dios esto puede traer consecuencias eternas. Una interpretación crítica de las Escrituras es la que tiene justificación léxica, gramatical, cultural, teológica, histórica, geográfica, o de cualquier otra índole. En otras palabras, la exégesis crítica se opone a las opiniones meramente personales, a la autoridad ciega, de las interpretaciones arbitrarias y de las opiniones especulativas. Es el deseo del autor que hablando sobre lo que no debería hacerse en la exégesis, todos deseemos con más fuerza interpretar bien la Palabra de Dios. A lo largo de la obra, D.A. Carson trata las falacias más significativas:
Exegetical Fallacies
Exegetical Fallacies by D. A. Carson, is an essential toolbox for interpreting the Bible. By naming the fallacies, Carson helps us identify and avoid them. This study is important because unfortunately exegetical fallacies are very frequent among us, who by the grace of God have the responsibility to proclaim faithfully the Word of God. If we make a mistake in interpreting God's Word this can have eternal consequences. A critical interpretation of Scripture is one that has lexical, grammatical, cultural, theological, historical, geographical, or any other justification. In other words critical exegesis opposes merely personal opinions, blind authority, arbitrary interpretations, and speculative opinions. It is the author's desire that speaking about what should not be done in exegesis, we all want more strongly to correctly interpret the Word of God. Throughout this work, D.A. Carson addresses the most significant fallacies:
Grasp the message of the New Testament by focusing on the essentials.
An Introduction to the New Testament focuses on historical questions dealing with authorship, date, sources, purpose, destination, and so forth, ensuring that the New Testament books will be accurately understood within historical settings. For each New Testament document, the authors also provide a substantial summary of the book's content, discuss the book's theological contribution to the overall canon, and give an account of current studies on the book, including recent literary and social-science approaches to interpretation.
This second edition reflects significant revision and expansion from the original, making this highly acclaimed text even more valuable.
This new edition is an ideal textbook for seminary students and will help a new generation better grasp the message of the New Testament.
D. A. Carson's father was a pioneering church-planter and pastor in Quebec. But still, an ordinary pastor-except that he ministered during the decades that brought French Canada from the brutal challenges of persecution and imprisonment for Baptist ministers to spectacular growth and revival in the 1970s.
It is a story, and an era, that few in the English-speaking world know anything about. But through Tom Carson's journals and written prayers, and the narrative and historical background supplied by his son, readers will be given a firsthand account of not only this trying time in North American church history, but of one pastor's life and times, dreams and disappointments. With words that will ring true for every person who has devoted themselves to the Lord's work, this unique book serves to remind readers that though the sacrifices of serving God are great, the sweetness of living a faithful, obedient life is greater still.
