Synopsis

This newest addition to the IX Marks series presents a clear, straightforward statement of the gospel, the third mark of a healthy church. What is the gospel? It seems like a simple question, yet it has been known to incite some heated responses, even in the church. How are we to formulate a clear, biblical understanding of the gospel? Tradition, reason, and experience all leave us ultimately disappointed. If we want answers, we must turn to the Word of God. Greg Gilbert does so in What Is the Gospel? Beginning with Paul's systematic presentation of the gospel in Romans and moving through the sermons in Acts, Gilbert argues that the central structure of the gospel consists of four main subjects: God, man, Christ, and a response. The book carefully examines each and then explores the effects the gospel can have in individuals, churches, and the world. Both Christian and non-Christian readers will gain a clearer understanding of the gospel in this valuable resource.

There’s not much else to say other than Greg gets in his bag for this one. Greg clearly explains the gospel in 4 simple steps: God, Man, Christ, Response. Not only is this book immensely theological for its size, it is also wonderfully practical and explains theological tensions that threat the gospe......more

Goodreads review by Heather on June 03, 2024

A good reminder of what the gospel is and is not. He spends the majority of the book talking about the Father’s role, Jesus’ death despite his righteous, and our sin that is now reconciled. He gives a few examples of false gospels and how Christians can miss the mark of sharing what Christ has done......more

Stephen and I have had the joy over the past few months of seeing our oldest son start pursuing God on his own initiative. He wanted to talk to our pastor because he was struggling with knowing whether he really was a Christian or not and our pastor gave him this book to read. We already had a copy,......more
