Most people probably still think of the “gospel” as the offer of eternal life to individuals on the basis of Jesus’ atoning death. That is quite wide of the mark as far as the New Testament is concerned.

This podcast is not new. It’s a reworking of an older post on the meaning of “gospel” in the New Testament.
