This book carefully examples the central structure of the gospel and explores the effects the gospel can have in individuals, churches, and the world. Both Christian and non-Christian readers will gain a clearer understanding of the gospel.

A famed historian once noted that, regardless of what you think of him personally, Jesus Christ stands as the central figure in the history of Western civilization. A man violently rejected by some and passionately worshipped by others, Jesus remains as polarizing as ever. But most people still know very little about who he really was, why he was really here, or what he really claimed. Intended as a succinct introduction to Jesus's life, words, and enduring significance, Who Is Jesus? offers non-Christians and new Christians alike a compelling portrait of Jesus Christ. Ultimately, this book encourages readers to carefully consider the history-shaping life and extraordinary teachings of the greatest man who ever lived.

你認為耶穌是誰？對於這個問題，你可能沒有多想過。這是完全可以理解的，畢竟我們談論的這個人出生在一世紀一個不起眼的猶太木匠家庭。祂從未擔任過一官半職，從未掌管過一國之地，也從未帶領過任何軍隊，甚至從未覲見過羅馬皇帝。反而在三年半的時間裏，這位耶穌只是教導人們倫理道德與靈性生命的事，給猶太人 誦讀並講解他們的聖經。如果對祂生平的親眼見證信得過，可以 看見祂也確實做了一些非同尋常的事情，但是耶穌也與當時的權力集團針鋒相對。公開傳道後不久，祂就被羅馬帝國一個握有實權的地方執行官釘在了十字架上。 另外，這一切都發生在大約兩千年以前。那我們為何仍舊談論祂呢？為何這位耶穌如此不容忽視？

What is the gospel? It seems like a simple question, yet it has been known to incite some heated responses, even in the church. How are we to formulate a clear, biblical understanding of the gospel? Tradition, reason, and experience all leave us ultimately disappointed. If we want answers, we must turn to the Word of God.Greg Gilbert does so in What Is the Gospel? Beginning with Pauls systematic presentation of the gospel in Romans and moving through the sermons in Acts, Gilbert argues that the central structure of the gospel consists of four main subjects: God, man, Christ, and a response. The book carefully examines each and then explores the effects the gospel can have in individuals, churches, and the world. Both Christian and non-Christian readers will gain a clearer understanding of the gospel in this valuable resource.
