Recovering the Real Lost Gospel: Reclaiming the Gospel as Good News

4.60 out of 5 stars

Description

In a world where many search for so-called lost gospels, Darrell L. Bock reminds us that the real lost gospel is the one that has been hiding in plain sight all along – the one that has been faithfully recorded in the pages of the Bible. This gospel is not just a collection of moral teachings or a set of principles for living a good life, but rather it is the Good News that has the power to transform lives and change the world. According to Bock, the true gospel is not just about personal salvation, but is a holistic message that encompasses every aspect of life, from the cross to discipleship, and from the mission of the church to the broken world that desperately needs to hear its message of grace. Renowned New Testament scholars and church leaders alike are praising Bock's work, hailing it as a timely and much-needed corrective to the confusing spirituality and mixed religious messages that dominate our culture today. In Recovering the Real Lost Gospel, Bock presents a clear, robust, and holistic biblical theology of the gospel that is both accessible to the average reader and informed by his years of technical expertise. As Daniel L. Akin, president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, notes, "Darrell Bock is one of the church's finest New Testament scholars," possessing a unique ability to communicate complex ideas with clarity and precision. Timothy George, dean of Beeson Divinity School, Samford University, praises Bock's work, saying, "You are holding in your hands a really rare book – one that goes all the way back to the New Testament in connecting the gospel and the cross with the life of discipleship and the mission of the church in a broken world that needs the message of grace." Other leaders, including David S. Dockery, president of Union University, Pete Briscoe, senior pastor of Bent Tree Bible Fellowship, and Russell D. Moore, dean of the School of Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, have also voiced their enthusiastic support for Bock's work, urging readers to rediscover the true meaning and power of the gospel. In a world where spiritual confusion reigns, Recovering the Real Lost Gospel is a beacon of hope, illuminating the path to a deeper understanding of the gospel and its transformative power. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to reclaim the gospel's original message and mission.
