| Publisher Description: 'The task of the Christian Church in this, as in any other age, is to communicate to men the truth of God as we find it in the word of God, ' writes the author. Dr Barclay. rightly described as one of the foremost communicators of Christianity today, here sets about that task, of showing how and why it should be done. As always. his work is written against the full biblical background ('Communicating the Gospel in the Prophets"); a description of the way the Apostles went about their task ('Communicating the Gospel in the Apostles'): thence to the challenge of doing so today ('we can never communicate Jesus Christ to others until we know him ourselves'); and closes with an outline of the Gospel in Tradition'. |
