Most traditions within Christianity would agree that the "gospel" is the "story of the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus." Problematically, this common contemporary definition does not fit logically with the biblical texts that reference the term. Consider Mark 1:14, Galatians 3:8, Hebrews 3:16-4:2, Luke 3:18 & 9:6. ► If Jesus did not speak overtly regarding His intent to die sacrificially until the very end of His earthly ministry, what "gospel" did He preach at the start of His ministry? ► What "gospel" first came to Abraham and was also preached in the days of Moses? ► What "gospel" was known by John the Baptist before he baptized Jesus? ► What "gospel" was preached by Jesus' disciples prior to knowing that their Rabbi would go to the cross? This study not only elucidates the factors that contributed to the loss of the biblical definition of the term "gospel," but also restores its meaning and offers a first century perspective of Hebraic Spirituality.

However scandalous it may seem, by the 4th century A.D., the biblical meaning of the term "gospel" was lost. From that time onward, the Judeo-Christian world alternately embraced a proclamation of "the story of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus." The Gospels are explicit that Jesus did not reveal His intent to die sacrificially until the very end of His life. Therefore, what "gospel" was it that... ...Jesus preached at the beginning of His ministry? Mark 1:14 ...first came to Abraham? Galatians 3:8 ...came to ancient Israel when Moses led the nation? Hebrews 3:16-4:2 ... John the Baptist preached before he baptized Jesus? Luke 3:18 ...was preached by Jesus' disciples, prior to knowing their Rabbi would go to the cross? Luke 9:6 After more than a millennium, the "'gospel' of the kingdom" that was embraced in the 1st century A.D. has been identified once again.

However scandalous it may seem, by the 4th century A.D., the original biblical meaning of the term “gospel” was lost. What “gospel” did Jesus preach at the start of His ministry? Mark 1:14…that first came to Abraham? Galatians 3:8…was also preached in the days of Moses? Hebrews 3:16-4:2…was known by John the Baptist before he baptized Jesus? Luke 3:18…and later was preached by Jesus' disciples, prior to knowing their Rabbi would go to the cross? Luke 9:6. Each verse references preaching of a “gospel” that could not have possibly been “the story of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.” After more than a millennium, the “'gospel' of the kingdom” has been identified once again. “Christianity” was originally a faith movement within Judaism, wherein a group of Jewish disciples followed and lived by the teachings of the Rabbi Yeshuah, (Jesus). Continuing in the spirituality of Moses, Jesus taught adherents how to embrace divine empowerment from God by entry into the kingdom. His followers recorded these teachings in the Koine Greek Scriptures. Jesus was not understood by the religious establishment of His time and was crucified. Nevertheless, the faith movement grew. Initially the scriptures served posterity to lead them into the wonders of the kingdom of God. However, the characteristics of the movement changed markedly in the first 300 years. In the 1st century A.D., the Hebraic Faith Movement that began with Abraham reached its apex about 50 years after the death of Jesus and was labeled “Christianity.” By the 4th century A.D., Christianity had completed its transition from what originated as an Eastern minded Hebraic faith tradition, and then developed later into a Western thinking, Aristotelian, Gentile religious movement. Like a tree severed from its root, the latter group was no longer dominated by its original constituency. Christians who were filled with antipathy for the Jews, redefined a new religious identity largely through interpretation of Koine Greek sacred texts that were composed much earlier in the 1st century A.D. Upon these, a legalistic reductionistic interpretational method was imposed in order to derive doctrinal formulations, religious creeds and a new order of sacramental worship; a system of praxis far removed from the concerns of their disavowed ancient ancestors of faith. Along with their separation from the Hebraic Tradition and anathematization of the Hebrew and Aramaic Scriptures, Christendom eventually lost the ability to accurately identify the meaning of a number of biblical terms, in keeping with their ancient formative contexts of understanding. The term “gospel,” as it was originally understood by the authors of scripture was no longer definable. Although many Christians today would generally agree that the “gospel” is “the story of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus,” which if “accepted” as being factually true, has the “salvific” power to afford adherents entry into heaven after death, the point is substantiated herein that 1st century followers of the Rabbi Jesus understood and participated in a “gospel,” whereby they entered a dynamic, living and miraculous relationship with God. With the unwitting acceptance of new meanings for several biblical terms, however, the spirituality of Christianity was set off course, leading many adherents into an elitist intellectual religion, steeped in divisive theories and dead propositional fundamentalism. In light of reviewing the factors that contributed to the loss of the “gospel,” an attempt is made to trace and restore a biblical, historical & intellectual path that originally gave definition to the term, and to shine a light back to the way of Hebraic spirituality. Jesus, His disciples and the authors of the Greek scriptures participated fully in the same “gospel” that had been embraced by ancient Israel's spiritual ancestors: Abraham, David and the prophets. Critics of Jesus & the Church may find new insights & renewal here.

In this rigorously researched and thoughtful study, a leading Jesus Seminar scholar reveals the dramatic story behind the modern discovery of the earliest gospels, accounts that do not portray Jesus exclusively as a martyr but recover a lost ancient Christian tradition centered on Jesus as a teacher of wisdom. The church has long advocated the Pauline view of Jesus as deity and martyr, emphasizing his death and resurrection. But another tradition also thrived from Christianity’s beginnings, one that portrayed Jesus as a teacher of wisdom. In The Lost Way, Stephen Patterson, a leading New Testament scholar and former head of the Jesus Seminar, explores this lost ancient tradition and its significance to the faith. Patterson explains how scholars have uncovered a Gospel that preceded at least three of those in the Bible, which is called Q. He painstakingly demonstrates how historical evidence points to the existence of this common source in addition to Mark—recognized as the earliest Gospel—that both Matthew and Luke used to write their accounts. Q contained a collection of Jesus’s teachings without any narrative content and without accounts of the passion, though being the earliest version shared among his first followers—scripture that embodies a very different orientation to the Christian faith. Patterson also explores other examples of this wisdom tradition, from the discovery of the Gospel of Thomas; to the emergence of Apollos, a likely teacher of Christian wisdom; to the main authority of the church in Jerusalem, Jesus’s brother James. The Lost Way offers a profound new portrait of Jesus—one who can show us a new way to live.

For decades the evangelical protestant church in America has preached a salvation-centric Gospel of Christ. Today, almost half of protestants believe this is the complete gospel and their churches have aligned their teachings to "seek and save the lost" only. In doing so, they relegated the life, words, and works of Jesus to secondary, non-gospel status.But, what if the story of Jesus, passed down to us in the New Testament (especially Mark, Matthew and Luke), describing His life, actions, death and resurrection, accurately portrays the whole story of Jesus, the Son of God, as He lived among us and still lives with us, showing us how to live out the kingdom of God on earth? What if Jesus's life was a living gospel, as He said it was, yet it has been forgotten by the evangelical protestant church? And if this forgotten gospel has been ignored, what should the church do about it? The purpose of this book is to explore how the life, words, and works of Jesus can bring churches, pastors, denominations, and members back to the Complete Gospel of Jesus, the Christ.

'It has been slowly dawning on me over many years that there is a fundamental problem deep at the heart of Christian faith and practice as I have known them . . . we have all forgotten what the four Gospels are about.' With that surprising assertion, Tom Wright launches this ground-breaking work in which he helps us to see the gospel story in radically a new light, and to acknowledge that, for many generations, the Church has been avoiding its full impact and holding back from proclaiming its full meaning. 'Classic Wright: clear, accessible, robust, engaging and challenging.' Paula Gooder in Third Way 'Scholarly, accessible, insightful and provocative.' Christianity 'Wright argues compellingly that the twin themes of kingdom and cross are inseparably linked. . . This is a much-needed reorientation. The book makes its case for 'rethinking' cogently and deserves widespread attention.' Theology
