Evangelism
Today's Gospel: Authentic or Synthetic?
By Walter Chantry

In this arousing new work Walter Chantry expounds from Christ's dealing with the Rich Young Ruler the essential elements in Gospel preaching. A close examination of the Scripture evidence leads to this conclusion:

"Differences between much of today's preaching and that of Jesus are not petty; they are enormous. The chief errors are not in emphasis or approach but in the heart of the Gospel message. Were there a deficiency in one of the areas mentioned in these pages, it would be serious. But to ignore all - the attributes of God, the holy law of God, repentance, a call to bow to the enthroned Christ - and to pervert the doctrine of assurance, is the most vital mistake.

"Incredulity may grip you. Can so many evangelicals be so wrong? ... All are not in error, but great hosts are. All have not perverted the Gospel to the same degree, but many are terribly far from the truth. All those who "make decisions" are not deceived, but great numbers are. Above all few care to recover the Gospel message..."

This powerfully-written book has a message which goes to the heart of the contemporary problem in a way that conferences and commissions on evangleism have failed to do. Its expository approach is particularly valuable.
