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.

"Christianity" was originally a faith movement within Judaism, wherein a group of Jewish disciples followed and lived by the teachings of the Rabbi Jesus (Yeshuah). Continuing in the spirituality of Moses, Jesus taught adherents how to embrace divine empowerment from God by entry into the kingdom. The Hebraic Faith Movement that began with Abraham reached its apex about 50 years after the death of Jesus. By the 4th century A.D., Christianity had completed its transition from what originated as an Eastern minded Hebraic faith tradition 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 Jewish constituency. Christians who were filled with antipathy for the Jews, redefined a new religious identity by imposing a legalistic reductionistic interpretational method upon the Koine Greek Scriptures 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. With their separation from the Hebraic Tradition and anathematization of the Hebrew and Aramaic Scriptures, Christendom lost the ability to understand ancient biblical concepts including the term "gospel."

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.

For 1,600 years its message lay hidden. When the bound papyrus pages of this lost gospel finally reached scholars who could unlock its meaning, they were astounded. Here was a gospel that had not been seen since the early days of Christianity, and which few experts had even thought existed–a gospel told from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, history’s ultimate traitor. And far from being a villain, the Judas that emerges in its pages is a hero. In this radical reinterpretation, Jesus asks Judas to betray him. In contrast to the New Testament Gospels, Judas Iscariot is presented as a role model for all those who wish to be disciples of Jesus and is the one apostle who truly understands Jesus. Discovered by farmers in the 1970s in Middle Egypt, the codex containing the gospel was bought and sold by antiquities traders, secreted away, and carried across three continents, all the while suffering damage that reduced much of it to fragments. In 2001, it finally found its way into the hands of a team of experts who would painstakingly reassemble and restore it. The Gospel of Judas has been translated from its original Coptic to clear prose, and is accompanied by commentary that explains its fascinating history in the context of the early Church, offering a whole new way of understanding the message of Jesus Christ.

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.

Jesus called only one message "gospel" the Kingdom of God. Mark said at the beginning of His public ministry, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel of God, saying "The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the gospel." When demons saw the new King, they trembled and cried out, "Have you come to destroy us?" After three years of preaching His kingdom, Jesus promised, "This gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the earth ..." In the book of Acts, "They believed Philip preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God ..." Forgotten Gospel investigates: - How and when our modern gospel began to drift from that of Scripture. - Where the bible of Judaism specifically defined "the kingdom of God." - How the Gospel of the kingdom illuminates the atonement messages of the apostles.

Two Thieves in Paradise is the historical fictional account of the lives of the men who are crucified next to Yeshua (Jesus). Anthony, a Roman mastermind criminal and Cornelius, an oversized thug team up not only to rob the treasury of the Jewish Temple, but moreover, to destroy the reputation of the Jewish leaders. Mary of Magdalene, a prostitute who is possessed by seven demons, lives with Cornelius. They are saving their money to retire one day on a Greek island in paradise. In an unusual turn of events, Cornelius and Mary are separated. Cornelius inadvertently becomes employed by the tiny man Zaccheus, who serves as the Chief Tax Gatherer of Jerusalem. As the plot unfolds, it becomes evident that Anthony is involved in a battle against the God of the Jews. This is a love story, an adventure, a comedy and a tragedy. The story does not end at the cross, but instead the participants find hope in a realm that exists beyond time. Mature content and may not be appropriate or all audiences. Enjoy!

With little or no agreement on the deeper meanings of the gospel of Christ and what it truly means to bear the name Christian, the contemporary church in the United States is in fragmented disarray. Much of our time and energy in church is spent on what others say or think about Christ, often neglecting to focus on his own words. Church problems today frequently arise because we have failed to follow Christ's teachings, preferring to emphasize other biblical passages and looking in the wrong places for our directions. When we return our focus and attention consistently to what Christ has said and discover what it truly means to "take his yoke and learn" from him, today's Christian and today's church will be capable of fulfilling their mission and calling. While exploring the historical and sociological backdrop that precipitated the Church's current confusion and brokenness, this book examines scriptural passages essential to providing a Christ-centered gospel and restoring the concept of vital Christianity. This book results from a lifetime of contemplation on the role of Christianity and the church in today's society and what it means to be truly Christian in today's world. It is my hope that this book will make a difference, bringing about a more Christ-centered Church. Let me behold thy face O blessed Master, O let me see thy beauty and be blessed.

The kingdom of God was the prevalent theme of Jesus' teaching and that of the apostles. And yet, it is not the prevalent theme of American Christianity. For many Christians, it is not even a strong concept. Why is that? And what are the implications of this conceptual deficiency? Wayne Barrett's book is a call for renewal of kingdom thinking and kingdom living among Christ's people-particularly those in America. He advocates for Christian living that is informed by a worldview of two kingdoms: the kingdom of God and the kingdom of this world. Topics include: What is the kingdom of God? Who is in it and who is excluded? How should the kingdom of God advance, and what does that advancement look like? How does a Christian discover his or her role in God's kingdom? Barrett also discusses how a Christian's own "script," relating to how one should live or even relating to one's church involvement, can prevent him or her from functioning as a kingdom citizen. The book is both a challenge and an appeal to American Christians to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
