The gospel and the Gospels

Dear friends

This episode Phillip and I chat about how the ‘gospel’ that we proclaim (such as in this new book, or via the Two Ways to Live framework) relates to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The former declares some news, along with its background and implications; the latter tells a story and introduces you to the person of Jesus. Many questions arise: 

- If there is only one ‘gospel’, how come the way the gospel is preached in Acts seems very different from the lengthy, story-filled narratives that we call ‘the Gospels’? 

- Is one approach better than the other, or more ‘gospelly’ than the other? 

- What of how the gospel is summarized and expounded in the Epistles, which is different again in style? 

- And what does it all mean for our everyday practice of evangelism? 

I hope you enjoy the conversation, and that it spurs you on to share the gospel of Jesus with those around you. 

Your brother
