Synod Pastor Johan Bergh Publishes New Book entitled Just What is “The Gospel” Anyway? Your Guide to Church Shopping
Bergh contends that Gospel of Jesus Christ needs to be clarified and defined and then clearly communicated so that those in the Church get “gospel” right and those outside of the Church actually get something that is liberating instead of boring, repressive and destructive.
“I am super excited about this publication for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it gave me a chance to work on integrating a couple of significant theological traditions and thinking, have them talk with each other, in order then to land on an understanding of ‘gospel’ that was honest, made sense and was actually good news,” said Bergh. “Then, too, I’m excited about the project connected with the book: readers are invited to write down and share their own definition/explanation of the Gospel in 100 words or less.”
Just what is “the Gospel” anyway? And how can a person find a church that lives it and delivers it? In less than 50 pages, a short read, you get all this and more!
By reviewing the justice theology from first century roots to the reconciliation theology from 16th century roots, the book offers up a way of understanding and living out the Christian faith today and a way to communicate just what the Gospel is in 100 words or less.
