The Heart of the Gospel explains the true meaning of the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ with clear biblical reasoning and reverence for the inspired Word of God. The gospel is not a vague message of comfort, moral improvement, or religious sentiment. It is the good news that Jehovah acted through His Son to provide the ransom, defeat sin and death, and open the way to forgiveness, resurrection, and eternal life.

Beginning with God's purpose for mankind, this book traces the need for redemption from Adam's rebellion through the Old Testament foundations of sacrifice, the Passover, the promised Messiah, the final Memorial Meal, the execution of Jesus, His burial, and His resurrection. Each chapter shows how the Scriptures present Christ's death as the perfect atoning sacrifice and His resurrection as Jehovah's declaration of victory.

Written for serious Bible readers, students, teachers, and all who desire a clearer understanding of the Christian message, The Heart of the Gospel calls attention to the central truth of apostolic preaching: Christ died for sins, was buried, and was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. The cross reveals what sin required. The resurrection reveals what Jehovah accomplished. Together, they stand at the very heart of the gospel.
