Synopsis

It is easy to assume that if we understand the gospel and preach it faithfully, our ministry will necessarily be shaped by it—but this is not true.  Many churches claim to be gospel-centered but do not have a ministry that is shaped by, centered on, and empowered through the gospel.  The implications of the gospel have not yet worked their way into the fabric of how that church does ministry. Gospel-centered ministry is more theologically driven than program driven. To pursue it, we must spend time reflecting on the essence, the truths, and the very patterns of the gospel itself.  The gospel is neither religion nor irreligion, but something else entirely—a third way of relating to God through grace. In Shaped by the Gospel, bestselling author and pastor Timothy Keller addresses several current discussion and conflicts about the nature of the gospel and shows how faithful preaching of the gospel leads to individual and corporate renewal.This new edition contains the first section of Center Church with new reflections and additional essays from Timothy Keller and several other contributors.Accompanying tables and discussion questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

This is the first section of another book by Keller: Center Church. I love this book because it explains the centrality of the gospel in the church. This book also includes an essay from Michael Horton and Dane Ortlund to comment on specific sections of this content. Horton agrees with Keller while......more

I like the relationship Keller has with the Gospel work within the context of any city. I appreciate his openness to hear responses from other theologians/pastors with good insight into his thoughts and experience. This is the first of three book series of Keller's singular work of Center Church. Th......more

Goodreads review by Carson irvine on January 11, 2025

One of the best books I’ve read on communicating and articulating the gospel to yourself, and others; Christian’s and non Christian’s alike. I picked this book up after getting the actual text book of center church. But seeing the essays from Michael and Dane intrigued me enough to get this copy. An......more

Goodreads review by Josh on March 12, 2024

I love Tim Keller, and I love the premise of this book, with the centrality of the gospel permeating all teaching in one's church. His illustrations about the three ways of obedience, to achieve salvation, to scorn grace, and to respond appropriately to grace, is what I know Keller most for. My only......more

Goodreads review by Tom on January 16, 2021

Keller is consistently insightful. I am especially thankful for his three ways of responding to Jesus as irreligious, religious, and gospel (The Prodigal God does this masterfully.) and how we must preach Christ from every Scriptural text (his Preaching book also masterful and helpful). I’m not stee......more
