Recovering the resurrection of Jesus as essential gospel core

Abstract

Any of our evangelistic efforts to attend to clarity, fidelity, and potency in our grasp of the gospel must engage an element at the core of the gospel that has become largely missing in our ways of telling it. God raised Jesus from the dead. What we have allowed to be peripheral is in fact an action of God by which all else has a place to stand. Restoring it at the heart of our grasp of the gospel establishes and renews every other dimension of the good news.
