Kenney On The Gospel

I'm really enjoying David Kenney's continuing series on the gospel. He starts with a simple discussion on the difference between being evangelical and being a "soteriologist" which he defines as a person who "concerned with the plan of salvation." He wants to remind us that there is a difference, that the gospel is not the same as salvation, that "the gospel saves people… but saving people is not the gospel." This resonates with me because so much of my own theological reflection has been a reaction to the disembodied gospel--a gospel of fleeing the world and escaping hell to get in to heaven after death--in which I used to believe. He then goes into what the gospel actually is in simple and accessible terms.

It's good stuff. You should check it out. It starts with "Evangelism vs Soteriology," goes into "Well then, what is the gospel?," and continues with "What ELSE is the gospel?" ...and he's not even done yet...
