Ce livre est un plaidoyer pour que Dieu soit considéré lui-même comme le don suprême de l’Évangile, tel qu’il l’a révélé clairement et entièrement dans la mort et la résurrection de Jésus-Christ. Les précieuses bénédictions de l’Évangile ne sont pas, en fin de compte, ce qui rend la Bonne Nouvelle bonne. Leur rôle est plutôt de nous amener à voir et à apprécier pleinement notre Sauveur lui-même.
