Gospel Roots: Restoring a Biblical Understanding of the Good News of Jesus Christ

Good News... About What? You may have heard the word gospel before. You might be unsure what it means. You are not alone. In recent years there has been an increased emphasis on the gospel in many Christian churches. Pastors and teachers have been speaking out about the importance of knowing the gospel, believing the gospel, living out the gospel, and sharing the gospel. This has been a great thing. At the same time, this beautiful resurgence has also resulted in the occasional misuse of the word to mean different things in various contexts. It has become a buzzword. It is being used in ways that have convoluted its meaning. Does "gospel" refer to a certain kind of music, church, lifestyle, mindset, or something else? The word gospel means "good news," and it was never meant to be complicated. It is powerful in its simplistic beauty. The purpose of this book is to provide a simple and biblical understanding of the good news of Jesus Christ.
