We live in interesting times. The Gospel hasn't changed, but a myriad of fresh presentations and differing emphases means that the Church needs to return again to the teachings of Jesus, considered in the light of the whole counsel of God.

Tim Patrick presents a clear and tight articulation of the gospel message, drawn from the pages of the Bible, and in a way that is consistent with the major topics of Christian theology.

Carefully engaging with the latest scholarship in cultural, biblical and theological conversations, Patrick shows how the Gospel is the nexus between theology and ministry. He challenges overly pragmatic approaches to mission and ministry, and encourages us to see the practical importance of Christian doctrine.

Balancing careful biblical theology with effective practical ministry ideas, Tim Patrick invites leaders, disciples and all thoughtful Christian readers to consider how the Gospel continues to offer clarity to us in a complex world.
