Greg Gilbert's book «What is the Gospel?» is an in-depth examination of the fundamental aspects of the Christian faith, including what the Gospel is and how it should be properly understood and preached. Gilbert explores how the Gospel is not simply a message of salvation or something that can be simplified to «message about Jesus»Instead, he sees the Gospel as a deeper and richer text that includes aspects of God's holiness, human sin, Jesus' sacrifice, and an understanding of salvation and the restoration of the world through Christ.
The author attempts to answer the question of what the true Gospel is and how important it is to interpret and preach it correctly in the modern world. Gilberta examines different approaches to preaching the Gospel, analyzing cultural ideas and trends that can distort its true meaning.
The book is intended for those who want to understand more deeply the essence of the Christian message and teach the correct understanding of the Gospel as the foundation of faith.
