From the streets of LA to the skyscrapers of NYC, from the flats of London to the halls of academia, people are discussing the Good News. In neighborhood coffee shops and congregations alike, people are trying to figure out just what the Good News is. We’ll be exploring the rich and multi-colored tapestry of the Good News in this series.

Contributors to this series include authors, bloggers, professors, and practitioners. You will hear perspectives from different ethnicities and different genders, as well as from Asia, South America, Europe and North America. You can find a full list of contributors here.

In this blog series each of the contributors will be summarizing their understanding of the Good News in 300 to 500 words. Each author is writing their entry as if they were invited by their city newspaper to write an article on the Good News, thus you will find the name of the author’s city newspaper in each entry. This series will challenge us to grow in our ability to share the good news with a variety of people from different perspectives.

The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are at the center of the Good News. I trust that this series of posts will help you to focus on the mutually enriching and mutually challenging nature of the Good News during this Easter Season – from Easter to Pentecost. As we focus together on the Good News, may we be encouraged to be living letters to the world, until Jesus fully re-shapes our planet and our Father’s will is fully done on earth as it is in heaven. Let the wind blow and the Spirit of Pentecost come freshly upon us.

    JR,

    This is a great idea and though I’m like half a month behind, I’m going to start reading through these posts in this series. Thanks for emailing them to me. It will be great to learn from different perspectives and at the same time discern what is lacking in mine or their understanding of the good news textually and contextually.

[...] I was invited by a pastor/conference speaker/ministry entrepreneur named JR Woodward to contribute to a blog discussion on what the good news is for my city (the Tampa Bay tri-metro area). Woodward’s goal for the series was to give people a glimpse of what the gospel means for cities all over as they continue to consider what the good news is for their neighbors. The series began on resurrection Sunday and ends on Pentecost. Clarifying and challenging each visitor to consider what the good news is. (Find our more about JR plans for this series here.) [...]
