What is the gospel? And how was it first preached—and defended? Opposition of many kinds—religious, political and cultural—met the early Christians in their eagerness to tell the world about Jesus Christ. The problems that faced them have continued to rear their heads in new guises and we can learn much from the sensitive way the apostles tackled them. They adapted their approach, but never watered down their message. “The kingdom of God calls loudly for such men and women today,” writes the author. “Factual, fresh and inspiring . . . by the most outstanding evangelical scholar in Britain.” – The Christian Herald
