The Amazing Depth of the Simplest Truth
Description
We live in interesting times. The Gospel hasn't changed, but the recent explosion of new presentations and differing emphases means that the Church needs to return to the teachings of Jesus, considered in the light of the whole counsel of God.
Tim Patrick presents a clear articulation of the gospel message, drawn from the pages of the Bible, consistent with the major topics of Christian theology.
Carefully engaging with the latest scholarship in cultural, biblical and theological conversations, Patrick shows how the Gospel is the nexus between theology and ministry. He challenges overly pragmatic approaches and encourages us to see the practical importance of Christian doctrine.
Balancing careful biblical theology with effective and practical ministry ideas, Tim Patrick invites leaders, disciples and thoughtful Christian readers to consider how the Gospel continues to offer clarity in a complex world.
