Synopsis "How Evangelicals Got the Gospel Wrong: Reflections of a Latino Missionary (in English)"
How Evangelicals Got the Gospel Wrong: Reflections of a Latino Missionary" is Wolfgang D. Fernández's penetrating analysis of the evangelical faith's divergences from its Gospel roots. Fernández, with over forty years of missionary service across continents, narrates a series of encounters that cast light on the cultural shifts and theological misunderstandings that have distanced Evangelicals from the original messages of their creed. This reflective memoir traverses the globe from the streets of Venezuela to the halls of power in the U.S., offering a window into the soul-searching journey of a faith community and its potential redemption. Through Fernández's eyes, we witness a call to introspection and a heartfelt plea for a return to the authentic Gospel-a faith that champions love, inclusion, and justice."Let your Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven."Gospel of Matthew 6:10Praise for Wolfgang Fernández and How Evangelicals Got the Gospel Wrong: Reflections of a Latino MissionaryAs a deeply relational person with a big heart and full of vision, Wolfgang couldbe a catalyst for countless smaller and larger movements - in the beginningchurches, later broader Kingdom Initiatives.
