Peter Kuzmic is distinguished professor of mission and European studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Hamilton, Massachusetts, USA. He is also the founding president of Evandjeoski Teoloski Fakultet in Osijek, Croatia and is widely regarded as the foremost evangelical scholar in Eastern Europe.

Kuzmic lamented the prevalence of “half-gospels” that do not take seriously the cross or human pain. These half-gospels, he said, lead to self-sufficiency, competition, duplication, and an “emotionally- driven Christianity that has no transformative effect.” Addressing the world’s complex problems requires a whole gospel.

To comprehend the whole gospel we must first understand, that “the Great Commission begins with the Great Foundation.” This foundation is expressed in the verses preceding what is typically thought to be the Great Commission. Christ’s commandment to disciple the nations does not begin with “go.”

Rather it is anchored in Christ’s astonishing declaration of cosmological sovereignty. “All authority on heaven and earth has been given to me,” Jesus said, as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew.

When the Great Foundation, the Great Commandment and the Great Commission are held together, Christians are emboldened to preach biblical truth in all spheres of life. We were, we are challenged to be holistic gospellers!
