big take-away from this book as I see it is that the Gospel message of salvation in Christ is not some ethereal idea which cannot be grasped and therefore should not examined or challenged. By this I mean we are not free to reinterpret what the Gospel message is and is not outside of Scripture, and we are free to correct/challenge those who do seek to change the Gospel message. I believe it is a central responsibility of the leaders of the Church to ensure that those with whom they have been entrusted by God, understand the Gospel and are competent to proclaim it. This necessarily includes ensuring that they have a proper understanding of God and His holiness, the problem of man – that he is separated from God because he is a sinner, the answer to man’s problem in Jesus Christ who bore the wrath of God in our place on the Cross, and the fact that this truth requires a response. Furthermore, there are only two responses; acceptance or rejection there is no middle ground in this arena. What’s more it is the responsibility of the leadership that the people not only be able to articulate this truth but to be able support it from Scripture, to include opening the Bible and showing the passages to the one being evangelized instead of merely memorizing everything and then expecting them to take your word for it. I recommend it for readers
