THE CHRISTIAN GOSPEL
A SHORT ACCOUNT OF THE MOMENTOUS NEWS ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
The teaching of Jesus and his followers has profoundly shaped our world and continues to influence Western society—even if we don’t always realize it.
At the center of that teaching is a surprising focus: the meaning of Jesus’ death on a Roman cross and the claim that he rose from the dead. But what does this centuries-old message have to do with us today?
To answer that, we must ask: Why is Jesus called “Christ”? Why is his death unique? Can his resurrection be believed, and why does it matter? Most importantly—if this message is true, does it really bring the peace, joy, and hope Jesus promised?
In this short, highly readable book, Tony Payne tackles these questions directly and compellingly.
