What is the gospel?

Read an interesting article today on Next-Wave.org regarding the nature of the gospel, or at least how we communicate it. It's an interesting perspective. The gospel is "holistic" and affects our entire existence, and should not be limited in scope. I do believe the gospel does need to be understood in the context of the entire "story" of history. Otherwise, we approach our faith with a very self-centered mindset. However, we do need to keep in mind that the Cross is the central focus of the gospel story. In literary terms it is the "climax" of the story...at least the story so far. There is another "climax" to come. The gospel is not just about my salvation, however, it's about the redemption of all creation. I'm just a part of the story...and I need to play my part.
