About this listen

Contemporary evangelicals have built a 'salvation culture' but not a 'gospel culture.' Evangelicals have reduced the gospel to the message of personal salvation. This book makes a plea for us to recover the old gospel as that which is still new and still fresh. The book stands on four arguments: that the gospel is defined by the apostles in 1 Corinthians 15 as the completion of the Story of Israel in the saving Story of Jesus; that the gospel is found in the Four Gospels; that the gospel was preached by Jesus; and that the sermons in the Book of Acts are the best example of gospeling in the New Testament. In the Beginning was the Gospel ends with practical suggestions about evangelism and about building a gospel culture.

So much of western Christianity is all about personal sin, redemption and salvation, however as Scot points out this is on part of the gospel and not all of it. This is a great read for anyone who teaches, preaches or wants to learn about that true gospel message.

A great overview of the actual gospel

So that’s why I need the Old Testament.
So that’s why we need Genesis 1&2.
So that’s why we need Jesus. He not only wraps up the old story, but he launches my story.
That’s the gospel.
Thanks Scot.

So simple.
