Gospel-Centered Ministry

The Gospel Coalition Audio Booklets

By: D.A. Carson, Timothy J. Keller

Narrated by: Grover Gardner

Carson and Keller outline their vision for the Gospel Coalition and explain the nature of gospel-centered ministry. In this Gospel Coalition booklet, D. A. Carson and Timothy Keller recount the origins of the Gospel Coalition and the purpose for which it was formed: to propagate a robust understanding of the gospel's content and to encourage gospel-centered ministry. Carson and Keller, founders of the coalition and editors of the booklet series, form a theological foundation for the organization's mission and detail a vision for ministry in a changing world. Ministry today must entail both Bible-centered preaching as well as outreach to the needy. Grounding their vision in the cross, Carson and Keller show how biblical theology flows toward Jesus and the gospel. They also demonstrate how Christian ministry flows from Jesus and the gospel. This summary of gospel-centered ministry is a great resource for pastors and others interested in the Gospel Coalition. Gospel-Centered Ministry offers a thoughtful explanation for the Gospel Coalition's confessional statement. The Gospel Coalition is an evangelical renewal movement dedicated to a scripture-based reformation of ministry practices.

Short overview

Excellent but too short. A little more information would have been appreciated. Perhaps a little too concise.

Then and Now

A broader definition of the gospel leads to unity amongst believers and is foundational to the ministry in the church today. How the foundation has been eroded and how we need to come back to the gospel not only in its overarching storyline but with all of its ramifications.

Gospel Essence

What if a key ingredient, if missing, makes everything else stagnant? Like a catalyst doing its work as a pivotal yet unchanged element - in a powerful and exponential chemical reaction - without which the whole system comes to a standstill.
