“What is the Gospel?”

This book was written as a gift to the people of Southwestern Pennsylvania and an invitation to all readers who harbor a desire to rekindle a passion for the Gospel. We are delighted to offer a free PDF version to attendees of the Festival of Homiletics.

In our baptism, we are to “proclaim the good news of God in Christ through word and deed” (ELW 236). This book will help congregation members and study groups engage the mystery and complexity of the Gospel so that they can live out their baptismal call with confidence and clarity.

Study questions in each chapter make this book useful for:

  • Confirmation Students

  • New Member Classes

  • Congregation Councils

  • Book Clubs
