“Today there are many who doubt that there is just one gospel. That gives them the warrent to ignore the gospel of atonement and justification. There are others who don’t like to admit that there are different forms to that one gospel. That smacks too much of ‘contextualization,’ a term they dislike. They cling to a single presentation that is often one-dimensional. Neither of these is as true to the biblical material, nor as effective in actual ministry, as that which understands that the Bible presents one gospel in several forms.”
–Tim Kelleris pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, New York. Taken from “The Gospel in All its Forms” in the Spring 2008 issue of Leadership journal.
