The Gospels Are Stunning Conversion Tools. How?
Keywords
New Testament Gospels, literary form, Jesus’s mission
Abstract
The stories of Jesus (the Gospels) are not fairy tales. They do not begin with “Once upon a time” and they do not end with “happily ever after.”
These stories inspire awe, defy expectation, and urge us to follow Jesus.
What Are the New Testament Gospels?
Tell Me the Stories of Jesus is a beautiful primary song that captures for many us our love and appreciation for the New Testament Gospels that contain those precious stories.
What we may not have considered is the form of literature that those stories are written in and how that literary type can magnify our love and understanding of Jesus and His mission.
