Courtesy our library’s Hoopla app, I listened to Gospel Allegiance by Matthew W. Bates. The book sheds light on how many Gospel presentations are constructed by extracting verses out of context, resulting in a message that diverges from the clear Gospel presentations made by biblical figures like Peter, Stephen, and Paul. Bates challenges transaction-based Gospel approaches and advocates for a more ancient presentation rooted in Scripture and early church traditions. While readers may not fully agree with the author, the book offers valuable insights and is worth thoughtful engagement.
