“What is the gospel?” If someone asked you right now, would you have a clear answer? Would you be confident that your answer is biblical?
There are a surprising number of answers to this question, but not all of them are clear and biblical. So we’re glad to point you to a
free chapter from Greg Gilbert’s important new book,
What Is the Gospel?. Here’s how C.J. endorsed the book:
Two realities make this a critically important book: the centrality of the gospel in all generations and the confusion about the gospel in our own generation. What Is the Gospel? provides a biblically faithful explanation of the gospel and equips Christians to discern deviations from that glorious message. How I wish I could place this book in the hands of every pastor and church member.
After you read the free excerpt, you’ll probably want to read the whole thing. And you can! Browse the book online at
Crossway.org. Or get a copy in your own hands, and buy copies to put in the hands of others,
