The Good News of Jesus Christ for the World
As we Christians embark on the third millennium, we face more than ever
the need to define our faith. In a world that resists truth and pays the
price in escalating evil, Jesus says we are the salt of the
earth—people of truth advancing the Gospel of peace. But how well do we
understand what we preach?
A group of prominent church leaders
and scholars did more than just ask that question. They drafted a clear,
definitive statement of the essentials of the Gospel titled "The Gospel
of Jesus Christ: An Evangelical Celebration.” Leaders from across the
denominational landscape have endorsed it, and the list of names,
already impressive, continues to grow. This remarkable show of unity
affirms the core beliefs about our salvation that evangelicals hold in
common. In the face of our differences, these are what bind us together
as the church of Jesus Christ and make the Gospel the Good News of Great
Joy.
This We Believe helps you understand the statement’s key
points. If you want to know exactly what the Gospel is, this book tells
you. Sponsored by the statement’s drafting committee, it includes
contributions from such well-known communicators as J. I. Packer, Joseph
Stowell, Lee Strobel, Joni Eareckson Tada, and Ravi Zacharias. With
clarity and passion, they help you understand the Gospel’s simple,
profound, and priceless message.
