Reddit mentions of What Is the Gospel? (9Marks)

Great that you’re learning a lot more about an important religion! I’ll give you some resources down below. If you want, you can always ask me a question you have personally. It would also be a good idea to maybe hang out with a mature Christian who knows a fair bit about his or her faith.

Judging from the questions you posed, I think it would be unwise to jump straight into the “in-depth” literature. It seems you’re pretty new to the subject so it‘s better to get an overview first.

Also be aware that there are many perspectives so don’t always believe everything you read. Personally, I am coming from a position of a Protestant Christian within Christianity. Some resources exist to convince people that Christianity is true. Others may exist to convince you it’s false. Yet others are there to describe Christianity as a historical phenomenon or are trying to figure out other aspects about it. You can also find books that exist to make clear what Christians believe God has to say to them or wants them to do. Talking about religion can get political so please identify what a text is trying to do and don’t swallow everything as “the truth” from any side really. Always use your brain.
