Description
The chasm between evangelism and social action needs to be bridged. Chester convincingly argues that the truth of the gospel is best understood and embraced in the context of loving action and gospel-centered community.
Advance Praise
“Good News to the Poor is good news
for readers thinking through the relationship of evangelism to social
action. Tim Chester rightly emphasizes the centrality of the gospel as
he compares dependency-creating welfare with dignity-embracing
development.” —Marvin Olasky, Editor-in-chief, World News Group
“The Christian church has at its best been known for its exemplary love and sacrificial service to ‘the least of these’: the poor, the oppressed, and the marginalized. Tim Chester shows that gospel proclamation and tangible acts of love, service, and mercy toward our neighbors should not be pitted against each other—God’s grace motivates action, and words and deeds go together.” —Justin S. Holcomb, Executive Director of the Resurgence; Adjunct Professor of Theology and Philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando
