If you are interested in a great read and a fresh perspective and a cheap e-book, then you are in luck. Scot McKight's The King Jesus Gospel is definitely a great read and a fresh perspective, but for a short time only is a cheap e-book too. Don't take my word for it, check out what N. T. Wright had to say about it.
"Once, long ago, I heard John Stott say that some people had been talking about “the irreducible minimum gospel.” He dismissed such an idea. “Who wants an irreducible minimum gospel?” he asked. “I want the full, biblical gospel.” Well, hold onto your seats. That’s what Scot McKnight is giving you in this book. As I said, everyone will find something to disagree with here and there. But we all urgently need to allow this deeply biblical vision of “the gospel” to challenge the less-than-completely-biblical visions we have cherished for too long, around which we have built a good deal of church life and practice. This book could be one of God’s ways of reminding the new generation of Christians that it has to grow up to take responsibility for thinking things through afresh, to look back to the large world of the full first-century gospel in order then to look out on the equally large world of twenty-first-century gospel opportunity."
