Informationen zum Autor Brian McLaren is founding pastor of Cedar Ridge Community Church in the Baltimore-Washington region.

Neil Livingstone (M.A., Fuller Theological Seminary) is the area director for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in metropolitan Washington, D.C. Klappentext In our image-based culture, people need to visualize something to understand it. This has never been more true about our communication of the gospel. But sometimes our understanding of the gospel gets stuck in a rut, and all we know is a particular outline or one-size-fits-all formula. While we hold to only one gospel, the New Testament uses a wealth of dynamic, compelling images for explaining the good news of Jesus, each of which connects with different people at different points of need. Neil Livingstone provides a guided tour of biblical images of the gospel and shows how each offers fresh insight into God's saving work. Walking through Scripture's gallery of pictures of salvation from new life to deliverance, from justification to adoption, Livingstone invites us to deepen our understanding of the gospel.
