What is the Gospel?

Greg Gilbert tells us that there are two different, both equally valid, views of what the Gospel is. Both have their place, but defining which one is the answer to someone's question is another issue.
These are the two 'questions:'
  1. What is the gospel? In other words, what is the message a person must believe to be saved? And
  2. What is the gospel? In other words, what is the whole good news of Christianity?
Greg's first post on this topic looks at the two 'answers' to these questions. In his second post he looks at the two ways the written Gospels themselves look at what the Gospel is, quoting a number of different passages on the topic, and in his third post he ties the two approaches to the Gospel together.

Three posts that are well worth printing out rather than skimming through online.
