The Heart of the Gospel'World-history at its core and in its essence, ' wrote George Townshend, 'is the story of the spiritual evolution of mankind . . . The Bible makes the tracing of this evolution its own special subject.' The Heart of the Gospel unfolds this vast perspective. It is the fruit of the author's long study of comparative religion. Using only the text of the Bible, the author provides a new reading Scripture which is compelling and timely. The Heart of the Gospel is a guidebook for those who seek a universal view of religion and the contemporary world |
