Gospel: the foundation of all knowing and doing

I have been re-reading The Gospel in a Pluralist Society and can't help sharing some of the many gems:

"Something radically new has been given, something which cannot be derived from rational reflection on the experiences available to all people. It is a new fact, to be received in faith as a gift of grace. And what is thus given claims to be the truth, not just a possible opinion. It is the rock which must either become the foundation of all knowing and doing, or else the stone on which one stumbles and falls to disaster. Those who, through no wit or wisdom or godliness of their own, have been entrusted with this message can in no way demonstrate the truth on the basis of some other alleged certainties: they can only live by it and announce it. " (p6)

That is the business of gospel entrepreneurship - in new economic enterprises to live by and announce this message of the gospel that is foolishness to those who are perishing, and a rock of offense to those who do not believe, in the hope that through the foolishness of what we live and speak, God will save those who believe.
