"This book is a fresh, inviting text on the content of the gospel and the way it influences our understanding of important scriptural themes tied to our relationship to the rabbi from Nazareth, the Lord Jesus. Drawing from the best of recent New Testament scholarship, mission-related themes such as discipleship, atonement, the Kingdom of God, the Trinity, the Church, and life guided by the Holy Spirit are discussed. Accessible, clear, thought-provoking, and very readable, this work will be appreciated by pastors, seminary students and thoughtful lay leaders"--page 4 of cover.
