Scot McKnight & The King Jesus Gospel

What is the gospel? Throughout the history of American Evangelicalism, many have tried to reduce it to a simple slogan, or something like “four spiritual laws.” But in reducing the gospel of Christ to a sales pitch, have Evangelicals altered the message? Does the good news that we proclaim have more to do with getting people to make a decision, more than it focuses on Christ’s person and work? On this program Michael Horton discusses these issues with Scot McKnight, author of The King Jesus Gospel.

This Week's White Horse Inn

A Mormon President

On this edition of the program Michael Horton talks with Adam Christing, writer and director of a new documentary about a relatively unknown aspect of the life of Joseph Smith, namely his candidacy for President of the United States. Mike and Adam also discuss the history and theology of Mormonism, as well as some of the political questions that have arisen relating to Mitt Romney's run for office. Are Mormons Christians? Is it okay to vote for a Mormon President? These issues and more will be discussed on this edition of White Horse Inn.

Horton Wins 2012 CT Award for Best Theology Text

Mike has won the 2012 Christianity Today book award for best theology/ethics text.  Congrats Michael!

The award states, "averting his gaze from the kind of popular evangelicalism that is nondenominational in style and never quite confessional in ethos, Horton delivers the Reformed goods to a new generation."  True enough!

The Messiah (Part Four)

Each year at Christmas in countless churches throughout the world, Christians focus with renewed attention on the birth of the Messiah. But what was the mission of this Messiah, and where can this story be found in the Old Testament? On this program, the hosts wrap up their discussion of Christ’s redemptive mission to seek and save the lost as it is unpacked throughout the Old Testament. And on this episode in particular, they walk through messianic prophecies from the Pentateuch through the writings of the prophets.
