What a joy to be able to experience God's attributes and not just have them defined

In what sense should we view the "gospel" genre as being similar or different to other Biblical narrative, especially Acts?

But if anyone is interested, I really like this book on the subject - very fair, balanced, does justice to what the Bible says, and also gives generous room for women to minister and teach in the church. Happy to continue to talk about this futher! (Our library doesn't have a copy but I'm happy to loan mine!)
