The Christian faith is about grace, not law, yet the Evangelical
Church often fails to communicate it. Gerard Kelly uses the story
of the Prodigal Son to unpack the idea, explaining as he does so
why he is still willing to describe himself as part of the tribe.
This book explores in depth the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke
15, suggesting that this one story carries in concentrated form the
DNA of the message of Jesus. Exploring this parable and the wider
biblical story arc in which it is set, The Prodigal Evangelical
suggests a reframing of the gospel narrative in four key words:
beauty, brokenness, forgiveness and invitation. These four words
describe the human condition - we are beautiful, broken, forgiven
and invited - and create a telling of the Christian story that
centres on the breadth and depth of the love of God. This is the
narrative at the heart of evangelical faith. The Prodigal
Evangelical embraces the death of Christ as essentially about
forgiveness. The cross is where it becomes possible both to be
forgiven and to forgive: this is the game-changing force that
creates the Christian movement. In both dimensions the forgiveness
offered is unilateral. The Prodigal Evangelical leads directly to
Gerard's personal experience of the cross as a life-changing
encounter.
