History of the Modern Gospel is a video series from RTM ministries, which tracks the history of the modern, sub-biblical gospel, espoused by a vast majority of Evangelicals today. As it tracks the history of the Evangelical church, it highlights key theological compromises committed by Christians of the previous century. Hosted by Michael Durham, this video series also presents a biblical response to these errors in the popular understanding of the gospel. Presented in a very interesting manner, these videos are both entertaining and enlightening. Theoblogy had blogged about this series in two parts earlier. Watch the first part here and second here. In this third and final part, we have the two final clips which complete this series. The whole series can be bought in DVD here.
7. Session#6 – Good for Goodness’ Sake
God cares for the poor. God cares for the downtrodden. But social justice for all is not the gospel. A growing number of churches and people in American Christianity are making the gospel more about helping others and being charitable than men being reconciled to God in righteousness. This is not new, yet each generation sees a new birth of the philosophy called the social gospel.

8. Session#7 - Jesus is the Gospel
So far, this series has looked at what the Gospel is not, giving glimpses along the way of what the gospel is. In our final session, we simply look to Jesus to discover the good news.
