Publisher Description

What is the gospel? Bryan Chapell explains that the gospel is the message that God sent a savior to rescue broken people, restore creation's glory, and rule over all with compassion and justice. This new booklet from the Gospel Coalition examines the gospel's proclamation that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ provides for those who believe all that God requires and leads to eternal life. But this ancient, unfolding story of salvation is not limited to personal spiritual realities. God's rescue, restoration, and rule through Christ renew hearts, empower lives, and transform the world. What Is the Gospel? examines how the salvation that unfolds in Scripture grants to God's people the right to participate in the furthering of the kingdom that transforms all things for his glory. What Is the Gospel? offers a thoughtful explanation for point 6 of the Gospel Coalition's confessional statement. The Gospel Coalition is an evangelical renewal movement dedicated to a scripture-based reformation of ministry practices.

"Excellent, excellent! This book is published by IX Marks, the ministry of Mark Dever, pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, DC, and written by the associate pastor at Capitol Hill Baptist Church. At 121 pages, "What Is The Gospel" is a great read for the unbeliever who wants an introduction to the Gospel (i.e., what it is, what it is NOT, how it affects those who believe it, etc.) as it is presented in Scripture, and for the believer (whether young or mature in the faith) who wants a sweet reminder of what the Gospel is and to be led to the throne for worship. It's a very readable book (i.e., not overly technical language), and, in my opinion, is appropriate for everyone junior high and above, and would make a perfect "gift" book for high school or college graduates, for use in evangelistic efforts, etc."

    " Really good short book on the essential elements of the gospel as distinguished from some popular errors in modern evangelicalism. Short, too the point, and inspirational. "

    " A must read for every Christian! "

    " A succinct explanation of the Gospel focusing on the substitutionary atonement. In a time when many churches focus on social justice and other "gospels," many Christians need to be reminded that the heart of the Gospel is the cross. "

    " I enjoyed this very much. However, I thought it should have been clearer (even though it was clear). "

    " Concise and clear summary of the Gospel following the God-Man-Christ-Response grid, followed by a clarification of the Kingdom of God. A good summation of basic Gospel truths. "

    " Loved it! Led 15 women through this book, it stirred up new & old believers. Clear, simple explanation of the gospel. I highly recommend this little book. "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " Gilbert has a talent of providing a clear and concise yet simple presentation of the Gospel. Every church and Christian should have a few as evangelistic tools in their library. Also a nice reminder for the mature Christian of how profound but simple the Truth is. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Short and to the point. A great book for nominal Christians and non-Christians, but equally good as a reminder for long time Christians that may have thought they could 'move past' the Gospel. "

    — Brandon, 9/30/2013
  • Overall Performance: 1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5

    " This is a bad book in my opinion. This is a very too narrow view of the Gospel. It reduces the Gospel to the forgiving of sins only. The new covenant provides more than this. "

    — Mathieu, 9/29/2013
  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Concise, honest and valid for today. The word gospel is thrown around today so much it warrants a need for clarification in today's muddled world. This book does a good job of doing just that. "

    " A fantastic little book, introducing the reader to what the Gospel is (and what it's not). "

    — Ethan, 4/25/2013
  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " A very clear explanation of the basic tenets of the gospel message: God/holiness, Man/Sin, Christ, Response. It is very short, so it doesn't go incredibly deep, but I thought it did a good job of helping clarify what the gospel is and what it isn't. "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " A clear and straightforward presentation of the gospel. The writing is competent but not mind-blowing; but then, with a book like this it's not about the writing anyway: it's about the message. And the message--the gospel--is awesome. "

    — Alexis, 8/6/2011
  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " This is definitely a must read. Very clear and precise explanation of the Gospel, which sadly many Christians today are unable to articulate, or simply do not have a good understanding of what the Gospel is. "

    " A VERY short read, this covers the different ideas of what The Gospel is, and then looks at it biblically. It's a reminder of the centrality of the Cross and penal substitutionary atonement for salvation. Nothing ground breaking, but a nice reminder. Almost like an over length sermon. "

    — Kingsley, 11/23/2010
  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " This book is inspiring. It sums up the great news of the gospel in glorious terms. His theology of he'll fire is traditionally wrong but otherwise the book is right on target. It was a surprisingly excellent book. "
