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."
