The Kerygmatic Preaching in the New Testament

This book explores the essential themes and doctrines central to the New Testament kerygma, the proclamation of the Gospel, and the foundational message of Christianity. It delves into the historical, theological, and spiritual aspects of the Christian faith, from the person and work of Jesus Christ, the central figure of the kerygma, to the mission of the Church and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Through an in-depth analysis of primary sources, historical context, and key theological concepts, the book examines the core tenets of the Gospel message?salvation, justification, repentance, baptism, and the Kingdom of God?as they unfold in the New Testament and shape the believer's life and mission.

In particular, the book addresses the death and resurrection of Jesus, suffering and persecution in the Christian life, and the eschatological hope centered on the second coming of Christ and the ultimate redemption of creation. The book also explores the implications of these teachings for the mission of the Church, as it continues the work of Christ, spreading the message of salvation to the world and living out the values of the Kingdom of God. Throughout, the work engages with the writings of key early Christian figures, such as Paul, the apostles, and the Church Fathers, offering both theological insight and practical guidance for believers seeking to live out the kerygma in their daily lives. The central message of the book is that the Gospel is not just a historical event to be believed in but a living reality that transforms individuals and communities, drawing them into the life of God and His eternal purposes.
