“We must fight the collective sin of allowing anything but the gospel to be the cause of our unity.”
That’s not my line. It comes from Michael Reeves, president and professor of theology at Union School of Theology. But I think I’ve said just about the same thing dozens of times to explain what we do at The Gospel Coalition: “We fight the collective sin of allowing anything but the gospel to be the cause of our unity.”
Michael has published a couple recent books with Crossway that grabbed my attention: Gospel People: A Call for Evangelical Integrity in 2022 and then Evangelical Pharisees: The Gospel as Cure for the Church’s Hypocrisy in 2023. I love his perspective on why we must define evangelicalism theologically as people who rally together around the gospel alone.
Michael joined me on Gospelbound to explain orthocardia and the cure for evangelicalism. We also discussed his 2004 book Preaching: A God-Centered Vision.
