The Kerygma: A Model for Proclaiming the Christian Gospel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781947642089)

In the Bible, way is a technical term that designates a person's pattern of behavior or his lifestyle. There are two ways presented in the Bible: the way of the wicked that leads ultimately to ruin and eternal death, and the way of the righteous that leads ultimately to eternal life. We all begin our pilgrimage through this present life on the way of the wicked. It is only by an intentional act of repentance and faith that we make the transition to the way of the righteous.In the 15th chapter of 1 Corinthians, the Apostle Paul presents a canonical outline for the Christian gospel, the centerpiece of which is the historical factuality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from a rock-cut tomb after He had been dead for 3 days and 3 nights.The Kerygma: A Model for Proclaiming the Christian Gospel sets forth a pattern for sharing the gospel which reflects both aspects of the two-part Christian gospel discussed in the study, Walking in the Way of Christ & the Apostles; that is, the gospel of the kingdom of God and the gospel of God. The gospel of the kingdom of God confronts our prideful rebellion against the righteous rule of God, and the gospel of God confronts our bondage to evil, sin, and death. The proper response to the Christian gospel requires our obedience as well as belief.
