Whatever Happened to the Gospel?: Rediscover the Main Thing

by R.T. Kendall

Let’s Get Down to the Truth
You know the “prosperity gospel.” The “name it and claim it gospel.” The "political gospel". The messages being preached on at least 90 percent of religious television. But what about the Gospel? What was it the apostle Paul was “unashamed” of?

Most Christians don’t understand what the true Gospel of Jesus is. In our church sanctuaries pastors neglect to preach the fear of God and eternal punishment. Church communities have grown to believe that all are saved and none will be lost. Meanwhile many other Christians lack assurance of their own salvation and focus on sanctification as their only ticket to Heaven.

They ignore what was historically introduced by Jesus, filled out by the apostle Paul, and articulated by the sixteenth-century Reformers. The Gospel has been brushed to one side, and evidence of this is seen in how churches are misleading and even mistreating people.

IT'S TIME TO BRING BACK WHAT IT REALLY MEANS TO BE SAVED.

Respected author and theologian R. T. Kendall sounds a wake-up call for churches across the globe. Whatever Happened to the Gospel?  seeks to reacquaint you with the Gospel and reignite a passion in your heart to know more of God.

I’ve benefited much from this Author over the years, and whilst I appreciate his passion in this book I find that some of his arguments are a little weak - which I don’t recall being the case in his early works - though admittedly it has been a decade or two since I last read any of his books. There are many chapters well worth the read, and I appreciated many of his anecdotal stories - and I don’t dispute many (perhaps most) of his criticisms. However for me there needed to be more Grace, more Forgiveness in a book aiming to bring us back to the Gospel message. I felt in particular that he seems to be almost obsessed with Heaven and seems to elevate this almost above Christ himself - which seems to me that he is falling (or at least leaning towards) the same faults he points out in others.

Não conhecia o pastor Kendall. Gostei muito do livro. Chama a atenção como as igrejas abriram mão do evangelho ortodoxo, verdadeiro e genuíno por um substituto raso, fraco e baseado em prosperidade, coach, no universalismo e outras crendices que não são bíblicas. Fora o fato de nós esquecermos da vida eterna. Nos apegarmos nas coisas terrenas.

A back-to-basics type of book that clearly explains the good news of Jesus Christ. Excellent for new Christians, or for seasoned Christians who just need to be reminded. Also appropriate for someone who wants to know what Christianity is all about.

[Blake Western · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an easy to read book defining what the Gospel is and what it is not. The author points out that a lot of extra baggage is sometimes added to the Gospel.

Aha Moments

This book is recommended to evangelists and missionaries. Better yet, to all disciples of Christ; serious in preaching the gospel to lost and dying world.

The first book I read from this author that led me to investigate Dr. Kendall’s works and read so many of his works.
