Synopsis

Too few people attending church today, even those in evangelical churches, are exposed to the gospel explicitly. Sure, many will hear about Jesus, and about being good and avoiding bad, but the gospel message simply isn't there--at least not in its specificity and its fullness. Inspired by the needs of both the overchurched and the unchurched, and bolstered by the common neglect of the explicit gospel within Christianity, Matt Chandler has written this punchy treatise. He begins with the specifics of the gospel--outlining what it is and what it is not--and then switches gears to focus on the fullness of the gospel and its massive implications on both personal and cosmic levels. Recognizing our tendency to fixate on either the micro or macro aspects of the gospel, Chandler also warns us of the dangers on either side--of becoming overly individualistic or syncretistic. Here is a call to true Christianity, to know the gospel explicitly, and to unite the church on the amazing grounds of the good news of Jesus!

I’ve taught dozens of Bible studies and preached a few sermons, so the gospel is not unfamiliar to me. What surprised me was how much I person......more

Goodreads review by Scott

Matt Chandler is a gift to the church. Not only is he a wonderful communicator, but he is also astute theologically and in some ways is a "voice of a generation" to younger evangelicals. His first book "The Explicit Gospel" expounds on the primary message he has been lauding from the pulpit and the......more

Goodreads review by Jerry

I've felt for a long time that the Gospel message has been watered down by our culture. This book makes the same claim, and has evidence to back it up. Every Christian should read this.......more

Goodreads review by Joel

In The Explicit Gospel, Matt Chandler takes on the religious ideology that he calls "Moralistic Therapeutic Deism", which characterizes much of the cultural landscape that Chandler pastors in Texas. Chandler's work seeks to rebut this cultural Christianity with the authentic gospel of Jesus Christ,......more
