Summary

The Fourfold Gospel is A. B. Simpson's enduring classic that plainly yet profoundly explains and proclaims the four folds that unify the Gospel of Jesus Christ: Christ the Savior, Christ the Sanctifier, Christ the Healer, and Christ the Coming King. In an article written in 1891, entitled "Fourfold Unity," Simpson compared the four folds to a chorus that would be inharmonious with only one voice, or two, or even three. Only when all four parts-alto, tenor, soprano, and bass-are present is there true harmony, "...this imperfect figure," he said, "enables us to understand how, in the Fourfold Gospel, we have the elements of a Christian unity which no other fellowship could give." The Fourfold Gospel is sublime in its ideal of Christian living, for it presents the highest life possible for redeemed men and women. It proclaims a Christ life that is a reproduction of Christ Himself, a miniature and living epistle of the Son of Man. The practical results that develop from such a life are just as high and glorious. Book jacket.
