Proclaiming the good news of the Gospel issues out of a love for people and out of an eagerness to give an answer concerning the hope which is in us. Genuine love depends on an intimate contact with our Savior God who desires all men to be saved, but answers concerning our hope depend upon preparation—upon being well versed in a variety of gospel topics.

In Gospel Outlines Witness Lee presents many clear and precious examples of the Gospel in the Bible. These passages are presented in outline form for easy comprehension and application. Part 1 consists of sixty messages from the Old Testament, Part 2 is comprised of one hundred fifty messages from the New Testament, and Part 3 contains eight additional groups of outlines organized according to special topics.
