Dear Editor,
The article in the January issue of en “Is creation care a gospel issue” first introduced me to the phrase “gospel issue”. Maybe I am behind the times, but to me the gospel has essentially been John 3:16 – known as “the gospel in a nutshell”.
John Samuel and Richard Buggs in their article state that the Lausanne Movement seems to be saying that “gospel issues are much broader than those issues that only affect individual salvation”. Subsequent articles and correspondence in en seem to go along with this much wider definition.
