Good news of Jesus : reintroducing the gospel
by Louis William Countryman.
Cambridge, Mass. : Cowley Publications; Valley Forge, PA. : Trinity Press International, c.1993.
New Testament professor and Episcopal priest Countryman writes a marvelous book for theologically unsophisticated lay readers on the meaning of Christian Gospel, or “good news, ” about the radically unconditional love of God. In ten chapters told in simple but profound language, he retells biblical stories and develops a theology, from “how God proposes to love you–without the least regard for what you deserve,” to God’s delight in seeing “you taking care of yourself,” to the implications of this good news for Christians’ relationships with their neighbors, the world, the Bible, and the Church.
