Restoring the rightful place of repentance

THE FEASTS OF REPENTANCE:
From Luke-Acts to systematic and pastoral
theology
By Michael J. Ovey
IVP Apollos. 173 pages. £14.99
ISBN 978 1 783 598 960

Repentance is too often a missing topic in evangelicalism today. Mike Ovey wrote this book (almost finalised by the time of his tragic and unexpected death in 2017) out of a deep concern that repentance is ‘far too often ignored, minimalised or dismissed’ in our evangelism.

The gospel is more than simply the proclamation that Jesus is Lord (as proponents of the New Perspective(s) insist). The gospel call necessarily includes a clear call to genuine repentance. This is, therefore, a much-needed book for the church today.
