The Royal Proclamation - Kerygma

"Just what Message DID the Apostles proclaim for their King?" This is the question that this book strives to answer in this book.

The author has spent fifty years studying this question. For a long time he wanted to know what the apostles proclaimed first to people. The Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament actually preserves some of the content of what the Apostles proclaimed in nine or ten (depending on what a person includes) examples. Luke, the author of 'The Acts of the Apostles' has preserved these and intimates that none of them are an effort to present EVERYTHING that the apostle said on each occasion. Rather, he seems to present salient features of each presentation. Nonetheless, suspecting that the whole body of initial teaching might be found by examining these preserved messages, finding the constituent parts, and assembling these parts together, one might arrive at a fair approximation of what all was communicated to prospective disciples initially. This book will take you through the process and culminates in an attempt to express the whole body of teaching that seemed to be heralded by the Apostles. Not surprisingly, the result is what is essentially a summary of one of the four Gospels in the New Testament.

The author's hope and desire is that modern Christian disciples would return to proclaiming the same message that the early disciples proclaimed.
