O livro é formado por 12 ensaios dividos em 3 seções: Deus, Escritura e Hermenêutica. Achei a primeira seção mais fácil de entender, talvez por já ter um conhecimento maior do assunto. As seções sobre escritura e hermenêutica foram bem complexas, principalmente a última. O tema recorrente é a interpretação na pós modernidade. O autor faz um dialogo com a filosofia da linguagem, principalmente Ricoeur, e outras teorias filosoficas pra defender os conceitos de Deus, Escritura e Hermenêutica diante de um contexto cético. Como não tenho conhecimento na área de hermenêutica tive muita dificuldade de acompanhar a discussão. No geral achei o livro muito bom, mas bem difícil e cansativo. Recomendo pra quem tem interesse na área de filosofia da linguagem e hermenêutica.

Vanhoozer's effort to bring productive union between exegesis and theology should be warmly welcomed by evangelicals. Vanhoozer is always an engaging and creative writer even if his style, like that of most systematic theologians, is not always so easy to follow, especially for beginning students. For more seasoned students and colleagues the book makes a valuable resource for reflection on Evangelical theology and its method.
"This is a book on theological hermeneutics. It is a plea for being hermeneutical about theology and for being theological about hermeneutics. It is an argument for treating the questions of God, Scripture and hermeneutics as one problem. This one problem defines what I call 'first theology.' " (from the Preface)In thirteen chapters, Kevin Vanhoozer explores various dimensions of doing first theology and illuminates not only how we can talk about God but how we can begin with the Word of God and act on the basis of that Word. Blazing a pathway for recovering the unity of biblical studies and theological reflection, he addresses the challenges presented by the contemporary so-called postmodern situation, especially deconstructionism. Not only does a way of doing God-centered biblical interpretation come to light through Vanhoozer's explorations, but the triune identity of a God who is communicative, loving and sovereign also comes into focus. This is a book for students, pastors and teachers who have an interest in the character of God, the nature of Scripture, Christian theology, our approach to hermeneutics and how they are all necessarily interrelated to the glory of God.
