One of the most important books on evangelism written in the 20th century, with enduring value today. Chantry shows that the differences between much of today’s preaching and that of Jesus are not minor – they are enormous. The chief errors are not in emphasis or approach but in the heart of the Gospel message.

If there were only a deficiency in just one of the areas this book brings up, even that would pose a serious problem. But “today’s gospel” preaching frequently ignores all of these: the attributes of God, repentance, a call to bow to the enthroned Christ, and perversions of the doctrine of assurance.

This powerfully-written book has a message which goes to the heart of the contemporary problem in a way that conferences and commissions on evangelism have failed to do. Its expository approach is particularly valuable.
