Simply Christianity is a breath of fresh air in evangelistic courses. Rather than having newcomers follow through a set of detached statements over a number of weeks, Simply Christianity introduces newcomers to Jesus by structuring the course around the gospel of Luke. As writer John Dickson says in the introduction to the Leader’s Manual: “The methodology is simple. Let the Gospel tell the gospel!”

In five sessions, participants read through Luke’s gospel, and discuss the themes and events that arise in each part. Be warned that participants are expected to read a healthy chunk of Luke each week in preparation for the next session.

However, this is a key advantage in the Simply Christianity course. Newcomers are not being presented with a human testimony, but with the words and actions of Jesus in the Bible. Additionally, newcomers who finish the course have understood a whole book of the Bible, and will be more confident to read other parts of the Bible.

There is also a Leader’s Manual, with great practical tips on running the course. Especially valuable is the additional information on the historical reliability of the gospels, Old Testament predictions, and the resurrection. This non-essential but useful information allows flexibility in catering for the needs and concerns of the group.

Simply Christianity is an especially useful course in a modern climate where many are wondering about the history and reliability of the gospels. Rather than avoid the question, Simply Christianity is an excellent place to start.
