Podcast: The good news is the narration of history

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. I argue here that the good news was an unfolding story about how the God of Israel was transforming the status and place of his people in the ancient world.

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