Quincy University professor writes book about the gospel

QUINCY – Matthew Bates, associate professor of theology and award-winning author at Quincy University, recently penned a book titled “The Gospel Precisely: Surprisingly Good News about Jesus Christ the King.” It is a guidebook on defining, sharing and obeying the gospel.

“This book is for any reader, but especially churches and small-group studies,” Bates said. “It tries to capture the heart of what matters most to Christians everywhere — the good news of Jesus’ saving kingship — and why the gospel continues to rescue and transform.”

The Gospel Precisely was published by RENEW.org and is available at https://www.amazon.com/dp/1949921662/. For discounted group orders, email info@renew.org. More information is available at www.MatthewWBates.com. The book includes resources for personal reflection and group discussion.
