In the Fall of 2020, St. Aidan's offered reading groups as a way for members to join together (virtually, of course) for fellowship and discipleship. During this time, the discussions were recorded so that we could share our study of "The King Jesus Gospel" by Scot McKnight.
In this book, Scot McKnight invites us to rediscover and revisit the Gospel of the early Church, and to contrast the Gospel of Scripture with the gospels of our culture.
from the cover:
"Contemporary evangelicals have built a "salvation culture" but not a "gospel culture." Evangelicals have reduced the gospel to the message of personal salvation. This book makes a plea for us to recover the old gospel as that which is still new and still fresh. The book stands on four arguments: that the gospel is defined by the apostles in 1 Corinthians 15 as the completion of the Story of Israel in the saving Story of Jesus; that the gospel is found in the Four Gospels; that the gospel was preached by Jesus; and that the sermons in the Book of Acts are the best example of 'gospeling' in the New Testament. The King Jesus Gospel ends with practical suggestions about evangelism and about building a gospel culture."
So join us as we dive into this fascinating book together!
