What Is the Gospel? It Is Finished, by John M. Drickamer

What Is the Gospel? was first published in 1990. The reprint of this publication provides pastor and layman alike with a fresh and refreshing approach to the summary of the Christian faith. One receives the immediate impression from the beginning of this small volume that it is written by a pastor who, by God's Word and work, has been faithfully tending the Master's flock entrusted to him. What Is the Gospel? answers the question of its title in a manner easy to understand and which is consistent with the orthodox and Confessional Lutheran faith.

The author's creative style and definitive approach serve to convey the most edifying reason to obtain a copy: its evangelical content. A clear distinction is made between Law and Gospel throughout this entire work. Each illustration and metaphor is clearly supported by Scriptural references. The proclamation of Christ crucified and risen from the dead is the substance and goal of What Is the Gospel? The preservation of God's Word, every word, is upheld as God's safeguard that we may ever be able to give a truth-filled and faithful answer when asked, "What is the Gospel?"
