Embracing Grace: A Gospel for All of Us

Embracing Grace: A Gospel for All of Us

by ScotMcKnight (Author)

Synopsis

According to evangelical theologian, Scot McKnight, the gospel is too often reduced to forgiveness from sins and getting to heaven. The message of the Bible, and the story of God, is actually much bigger - and better - than just that. In Embracing Grace , the author presents an understanding of our relationship with Jesus that takes in the whole range of Scripture, from the original Fall to the passion and resurrection of Christ.

Media Reviews
'Helps us see beyond various flat, partial gospels to a rich, gracious gospel that embraces all the others, and all of us too.' Brian McLaren '... a well-grounded introduction to some of Christianity's great themes in an appealingly contemporary style.' Publishers Weekly 'For too long, grace has been misunderstood as being nothing more than punishment avoidance. But God's grace was flourishing long before the first sin was ever committed. Scot McKnight, in his thoughtful and provocative way, helps us think again about the comprehensiveness of grace and the robust nature of the gospel. This is a book for people who want not only to be saved by grace, but to live by grace.' John Ortberg.
