Or is it a declaration which carries

*Inspired by Michael Bird's questions and his fantastic quote from Luther!
The "tiers" above rest upon one another from top to bottom. That is, the top - the implications - which are often preached as the gospel, lose their meaning apart from the "layers" below.

How about a break down of the word soteriology in your understanding? Much better than a dictionary. I will be back.
Robby,
I think you should consider trying to turn this idea of the gospel have various 'tiers' into a journal article!
olympiada and michael,
See most recent posts for my quick shot at answers to these questions / suggestions.
Shalom,
Robby
