Rediscovering the Good News of the Gospel: Asking the Right Questions and Putting the Pieces Together - Paperback

by Bruce E. Gibson (Author)

Historically, methods of sharing the good news of the gospel have often been incomplete because the limited message has focused on sin, sin removal, avoidance of hell, and ultimately heaven. Within that context, each group offers its guaranteed process, sometimes sold as the exclusive process, to avoid hell because avoiding hell seems to have been the best motivation to make converts. As a result, the gospel is often not perceived as life-giving good news but as an allegiance to a religious team to avoid wrath and punishment. And teams compete against other teams. Consequently, a growing number of people are walking away from the good news as presented. This is particularly polarizing when the available responses seem to vacillate between the extremes of embracing the methods and traditions hook, line, and sinker without asking questions or forsaking the gospel, the church, and God. To address this situation, Bruce E. Gibson verbalize questions that he thinks other Christians contemplate but do not have a safe place to discuss. Join the conversation to embrace and address these questions.
