\"\"<\/a>Scot McKnight presents his definition of the \u201cgospel\u201d from 1 Corinthians 15 in the fourth chapter of his new book The King Jesus Gospel: The Original Good News Revisited<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. He calls it the \u201capostolic gospel\u201d. For Scot it is the place where we must begin. What is the apostolic gospel?<\/p>\n

According to Scot\u2019s reading of 1 Cor 15, it is \u201cto announce the good news about key events in the life of Jesus\u201d (1 Cor 15:3-5).\u00a0 1 Cor 15 places the Jesus story in relationship to the Israel Story: \u201cthe gospel Story of Jesus Christ resolves or brings to completion the Story of Israel as found in the Scriptures\u201d. So, \u201cThe apostolic gospel story is an \u201caccording-to-Scriptures telling of the Story of Jesus\u201d. To put it to a sharp point: \u201cthe \u2018good news\u2019 of this gospel is that Israel\u2019s Story has now reached its resolution in Jesus Christ\u201d.<\/p>\n

Where does salvation fit? Scot answers that: \u201csalvation\u2013the robust salvation of God\u2013is the intended result of the gospel story about Jesus Christ that completes the Story of Israel in the Old Testament . . . however we tell the Story of Jesus, that story must deal with \u2018sins\u2019 . . . it must aim at showing that the gospel saves<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n

The most provocative point of the chapter is Scot\u2019s assertion soterians have a truncated gospel. They have a \u201cGood-Friday-only gospel\u201d (55), a gospel whose definition ends with 1 Cor 15:5.\u00a0 Scot\u2019s definition of the \u201cgospel\u201d does not stop at 15:5 but goes on through verses 20-28. For Scot the \u201ccomplete\u201d gospel, the one that Paul received and handed on, was one that included Jesus\u2019 resurrection, ascension and second coming and consummation of the kingdom in addition to his death.<\/p>\n

The gospel for the apostle Paul is the salvation-unleashing Story of Jesus, Messiah-Lord-Son, that brings to completion the Story of Israel as found in the Scriptures of the Old Testament. To \u201cgospel\u201d is to declare this story, and it is a story that saves people from their sins. That story is the only framing story if we want to be apostolic in how we present the gospel. We can frame the \u201cgospel\u201d with other stories or categories, but there is one holy and apostolic story, and it is the Story of Israel. That is the apostolic framing story for the gospel (61).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
