This book is both a plea for a Christianity that is radically committed to the full scope of the Gospel and an outline of what this might mean for the issues that face Christians at the beginning of a new century.
Puts the evangel (the gospel) back into evangelicalism.
Do we need to change or supplement the biblical Gospel when the world around us makes the evangelical cause appear powerless, dry, culture-bound and irrelevant?
What passes for evangelical Christianity may be guilty as charged, but not so the Gospel. What is culture-bound and irrelevant is not the Gospel itself, but only reduced and distorted versions which are unworthy of the name.
Various essays explore how a properly evangelical outlook can shed new light on traditional commonplaces such as evangelism, preaching and the Bible. The book also tackles less usual territory in the light of the Gospel, dealing with such topics as social justice, gender, contemporary culture, work and the human person
