Course
Synopsis:
(This course was held over two Thursdays [23 Aug and
30 Aug 2007])
What is the Gospel? This question is of the utmost
importance not just to Christians but also to every
human being. It is made urgent because of the recent
hyped media events, which suggest that the Gospel as the
Christian Church now proclaims it is actually just a
variant of many other Gospels that were later suppressed
by church politics in the 4th century.
The talks on ‘The Gospel: True and False’ are designed
to tackle this question. The first talk will examine
what the Gospel is, as it is presented in the New
Testament, and understood against the backdrop of the
Old Testament. This will enable us to have a grasp of
the total biblical witness to the Gospel. The second
talk will look at some so-called Gospels that were
proliferated in the second and third centuries as
alternatives and challenges to the Gospel of the total
biblical witness. Current concerns generated by recent
publications and claims will also be briefly examined.
It is hoped that through these talks, we will get a
fresh and better understanding of what God has promised
to do, and is doing, to our troubled world.
