Matthew Bates, Ph.D., associate professor of theology and award-winning author, recently penned a book titled The Gospel Precisely: Surprisingly Good News about Jesus Christ the King. It is a guidebook on defining, sharing and obeying the gospel.

When asked to describe the book, Bates said, “This book is for any reader, but especially churches and small-group studies. It tries to capture the heart of what matters most to Christians everywhere–the good news of Jesus’s saving kingship–and why the gospel continues to rescue and transform.”
