Response to Chalke
5 comments | PermalinkA couple of endorsements:
‘Dr Liam Goligher’s enviable gifts as a communicator and his astute theological mind here combine in his new book, The Jesus Gospel. Its exposition of the Bible’s basic plot-line help us to answer a fundamental question on which Christians today are often confused – What is the Gospel of Jesus?’
Sinclair B Ferguson, Westminster Theological Seminary
‘Accurate, wide-ranging canonical exposition of Scripture at a non-technical level here displays salvation through penal substitutionary atonement as central to the message of the Bible as a whole and to Christ’s own understanding of his Father’s plan. Goligher covers this familiar ground in a gloriously head-clearing, heart-warming way.’
J I Packer, Professor of Theology, Regent College

I'm shocked that J.I. Packer would endorse a book! :)
I'd highly recommend Nathan Burley's extensive interview with Liam Goligher: When Nathan met Liam Goligher.
Has Packer actually read this book before endorsing it, or has he any clear idea of its content? Or has he simply signed what the author's agent has put into his mouth? I ask this because according to Suzanne McCarthy's interview with him he has admitted to recommending The TNIV and the Gender Neutral Bible Controversy by Poythress and Grudem without reading it.
Peter,
Thanks for once again modeling such maturity and respect.

Having just read that Suzanne McCarthy interview I think Peter raises a valid point. Dr Packer's attitude there is truly astonishing.
