F.F. Bruce on the Gospel

Over at SAET, Jason Hood has a great post about F.F. Bruce on the Gospel. Highly relevant to the TGC “Did Jesus preach the gospel debate” too. Here is Jason’s summary of Bruce on “gospel”:

1. the prophecies [and I’d clarify that it’s story as a whole, not just individual prophecies] have been fulfilled and the new age inaugurated by the coming of Christ;

2. he was born into the family of David;

3. he died according to the Scriptures, to deliver his people from this evil age [McKnight and Reformed redemptive-historical types emphasize  “from their sins,” rather than movement from age-to-age, although the two are obviously related];

4. he was buried and raised again the third day, according to the Scriptures;

5. he is exalted at God’s right hand as Son of God, Lord of living and dead;

6. he will come again to judge the world and consummate his saving work.
