It means reaffirming primary doctrines of the Christian gospel, such as God's creation of the world, God as actively present in us, and divinely given life after death. American Christianity is in crisis. In this timely book, David Ray Griffin preaches the Gospelnot interpreted for the convenience of Americans, but to remind Americans of what the Gospel actually says and what it calls us to do. …
