A Deeper Salvation is Gaining Traction in Mainline Evangelicalism: Scot McKnight’s New Book

Much has been written about the reduction of the gospel in the last ten years (by myself and others). It is inadequate to understand our salvation in Christ as ONLY OR PRIMARILY “a decision” by which we acknowledge our sin, put our trust in Christ, and receive pardon for sin/ eternal life. This is an element of our salvation. But the salvation we enter into in Christ is so much more. It seems this idea is close to going mainstream in American evangelicalism. Here, in this promo video, Scot McKnight makes the case for widening and deepening the way we preach, explain, present, initiate people into God’s salvation in Christ. I’m looking forward to his book (I also like the shaved head look. Scot has got the right shaped head for the Jordan look. Agreed?).
