About this sermon

In this keynote address from TGC's inaugural conference in 2007, TGC cofounder Don Carson answers the question "What is the gospel?" He unpacks the gospel as a comprehensive, Christ-centered truth that’s theological, biblical, apostolic, historical, personal, universal, eschatological, and proclaimed. It's a truth that ultimately transforms us. Carson defines TGC's foundation as he points to the richness of the gospel as one unified message, drawing from the entirety of Scripture and the apostles' witness. ——— 🎁 Help The Gospel Coalition build up a renewed church for tomorrow.
