Understanding the gospel in a whole-Bible context The first generation of Christians were not popular. They were ridiculed, persecuted, yet according to Acts 17:6-7, they "turned the world upside down." As a result, their message was communicated louder and clearer than any message before or since. Even with today's social medias, big-name celebrities, and shiny evangelism techniques that add glitz and glamour to the gospel, today's Christians fail to communicate as effectively as the first followers of Christ. Simply put, the early church turn... MOREed the world upside down, but today's church has been turned upside down by the world. Believing that this shift is a result of too many Christians failing to adopt a whole-Bible worldview, author and popular blogger Dan Phillips offers an easy-to-understand, conversational, and engaging analysis of the gospel and the results it once had--and should have again. Drawing on decades of studying the Bible's Hebrew and Greek texts, Phillips clearly draws out the Bible's teaching of God's eternal plan as started in Genesis and played out through each book of Scripture. Written with the same accessible tone that has made Phillips's blogs popular to thousands of readers, The World-Tilting Gospelchallenges believers to hold fast to a biblical worldview even if it makes them unpopular. "When Christians are again gripped by that gospel rather than obsessing about being liked by the world," writes Phillips, "they will be able to turn the world upside-down again."

A cure to worldly vertigo The first generation of Christians turned the world upside down. But the church today is being turned upside down by the world. Why? And why aren't we-with all our social medias and high-tech gadgets-more effectively producing Christ-centered, Gospel-liberated, biblically-instructed, world-tilting believers? In The World-Tilting Gospel, popular blogger Dan Phillips lays out four reasons why the first believers had more impact on their culture than today's church has on contemporary society. Using a whole-Bible approach to the Gospel, Phillips shows who we really are, what kind of world we are really living in, who God really is, and what difference the Gospel really makes in our everyday lives. Drawing from decades of studying the Bible's Hebrew and Greek texts, Dan Phillips offers a conversational and engaging challenge to embrace a biblical worldview-and hang on tight. "Pick this book up, flip to any page, and start reading. You won't want to put it down." -- Robert L. Plummer, author of 40 Questions About Interpreting the Bible "This book is a great tonic for the postmodern tendencies that poison so many young minds today."-- Phil Johnson, Executive Director of Grace to You Ministries and cofounder of the Pyromaniacs blog "Dan Phillips is both easy and edifying to read. The World-Tilting Gospelis a sound introduction to what it means to be followers of Jesus Christ. I recommend it widely." -- Ligon Duncan, President of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals
