For those who are weary of Christian cliché and compromise crowding out what was supposed to be good news, The Naked Gospel offers the fresh take on the story of Jesus you've been waiting for.

As a university student, Andrew Farley found himself physically and emotionally addicted to street evangelism and Bible study. Yet despite his fervid behavior, he knew something was missing.

That something was an understanding of the gospel that is stripped of the churchy jargon and hypocrisies of the modern church. The Naked Gospel finds kindred spirits among those who are burned out on experience-chasing, ceremonialism, or legalism. It dismantles churchy jargon and powerless ideas and puts forth a message that is simple but life changing:

Jesus plus nothing. 100% natural. No additives.

The Naked Gospel is an invitation to dive deep into the indispensable, powerful core of the Christian faith. Are you ready?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"How do you know a sailboat is maxed out in the wind? You listen for the hum. This book shows you how to open the sails of your life to the winds of truth, and to max out in God's Spirit. Read this book and hear the hum." --Leonard Sweet, best-selling author of Jesus Manifesto and So Beautiful

"If you're tired of wearing the 'I'm a super Christian' mask and are weary and discouraged on the inside, read this book and experience the freedom Jesus brings." --Mary DeMuth, best-selling author of Daisy Chain and Thin Places

"What a great 'textbook' on how to strip away all the religious fakery and take the challenge to just be a normal person while being a healthy Christian." --Steve Arterburn, best-selling author of Every Man's Battle: Winning the War on Sexual Temptation One Victory at a Time

"Our culture screams at us, 'productivity!' and often, this mantra gets absorbed and spread by the church. Grace is a word we use often, but rarely understand the depth and true meaning of. In The Naked Gospel, Andrew Farley strips down religion and shows us the faith and freedom God intends for us to have in a fully abundant, radiant life." --Anne Jackson, best-selling author of Mad Church Disease and Permission to Speak Freely

"The Naked Gospel is an intelligently written book that is thoroughly intriguing. Your church or small group could benefit greatly by its wisdom and concepts. This is a must read!" --Dave Stone, Senior Minister, Southeast Christian Church (12th largest church in America)

"The message that Andrew Farley brings in The Naked Gospel is so necessary for the church today. It is absolutely essential for a fulfilling and genuinely Christ-centered life." --Dr. John Best, Th.D., Former Professor of New Testament Literature and Exegesis, Dallas Theological Seminary

Let freedom ring! The Naked Gospel is an extraordinary re-introduction to what it means to live in the New Covenant and escape the bondage of spiritual slavery that is born from religiosity. I see the scriptures in a fresh new way and truly understand the importance of studying the word with the proper context in mind. It is like being born again- experiencing Christ in me and deeply knowing what that means in regard to embracing my true identity and overcoming the flesh and sin.

Many will hate this book, some virulently and some even politely,because is comes against everything taught for 2 millinnia. People don't like their traditions challenged. Much like the Pharisee's and Sadducee's reaction to Christ and the apostles. Not that I am equating Farley to Christ but the analogy is the same. This book sheds new light on so many things. So many things never made perfect sense to me before. So many things seems to have been stretched to fit the standard interpretation like the skin on a drum. But the concepts that Farley exposes here change all that. They make BETTER sense than they ever did before. I still struggle myself against my own thought process' cemented in the old way of thinking. But unlike the skin of a drum pulled and stretched to fit the theory this one fits like your own skin, supple and pliable. It simply fits. Thank You Andrew Farley for writing this. It has been a vehicle that has granted me such freedom from the past as well as present inability to 'earn' our way home. We a citizens of heaven, not earth. That citizenship is freely given not earned in any way.

I never liked Paul, he was harsh cruel almost when I read his words. But after the light Farley sheds on him I have a new found love and respect for Paul. I FINALLY UNDERSTAND HIM. He NEVER made sense before. Now that his words are placed in context I see Paul for the kind man he was. In many ways it feels like I am reading my bible for the first time. The whole New Testament reads so completely different to me know. They way I was taught was that we are not under Law but under grace but then law upon law was heaped upon us, in the old and the new. A great contradiction that no one admitted to or addressed but everyone tried to make 'fit' they pulled and stretched until it did fit, tight like the skin of a drum. No one ever just simply looked at it and reasoned it out. WHY? I don't know the answer to this question and I may never know it but it is enough to have this new book show new concepts that work better than anything has before.

The nay sayers will never let up. They will always be there to bully, conjole, and guilt everyone they can back into the old way of thinking. A Modern day Sanhedrin all though many will do so innocently with the best of intentions thinking they are serving God. Sorry a little of my own frustrations seeping out there, but it had to be voiced because it will and is happening.

C. Stephans sorry for your misperceptions and completely incorrect interpretation. Your dependance on tradition is as blatent as the noon sky. however you at least appear to be trying to present in a peacful manner. Your presentation is misleadin and convoluting. You know farley is correct here. and you have tried to present your own prejudice as face by listing farley's page bnumbers byut you have backed up nothing of your own argument. let go of your predujices and look with out the blinders. I hope you are able to overcome these limitations. We are meant to be united, one body, under Christ. Just let go!

When you wrote your review of the naked gospel did you actually research the data or just wing it? Because it really reads like you winged it based on an acceptance and adherence to traditional cultural Christianity. I respect your point of view but i think it is grossly irresponsible to write a review that your did not proof and is based on a cultural traditional bias rather than biblical truth. Your comment is based SOLELY on church tradition rather than biblical fact.

Andrew Farley, Thanks!

Many, if not most, of the reviews I've read about Drew Farley's book have made most of the points I would also make: this is not "news" or a "new" gospel or even a "new" spin on the Word. It is not his own private interpretation. It is an incredibly clear, very solidly Biblical exhortation to live life and that abundantly. And the "problems with Grace" i.e. Jesus + nothing are as old as the New Testament itself. That is the point of the book of Galatians. They missed it too, even after having been taught by Paul himself.
One reviewer with a different perspective spoke of Farley ignoring the traditions of the early church. My studies indicate that this is a mixed bag here: does Farley repeat the message of Grace (something quite separate from Mercy, BTW, but that's a different rant) that is found in every generation of the Church since Paul? NO. Absolutely not. This is not a text about Grace In Church History. Is the same story of Grace found in every generation of believers? 100% absolutely YES. This Grace, this freedom, has been discovered and must be discovered by every generation and every individual believer. Paul taught this to the Galatians. Luther understood this. Edwards understood this. Farley understands, and what's more, very capably communicates this to anyone who reads his book.
As many other reviews also mentioned, there is nothing "new" in this book; I've heard these teachings all of my christian life. What is different is that Farley has phrased these realities in such a fashion that these truths, "hidden in plain sight," have been made real to my heart as well as my head. This is the most eye-opening book I've read in many years. I've likened it to Brother Andrew's The Practice of the Presence of God. Brother Andy's version hits the experiential reality of God's Presence and Brother Drew's version underscores the Scriptural foundations for understanding, and LIVING that reality that speaks to this age.
Is it hard to believe? Definitely. For anyone raised under the "self" focus of the Law, by which I mean that the purpose of the Law is to point out how terribly, wretchedly short we all fall of God's Perfection and that ANY efforts on our part to "earn" any part of Christ's redemptive work for us is SELF focused.
I fear I'm not making this incredibly simple, straightforward truth very clear at all. Save yourself a great deal of hassle and read this book for yourself.
You might not agree. You might find yourself able to truly rest in God's Amazing Grace in ways that were not possible before. If nothing else, you will definitely find more than a single sitting's worth of food for thought. Some read it and found tough steak. I read it and enjoyed fork-tender Fillet Mignon. In both cases, no pablum.

I don’t read many Christian books because I like to just read the Bible myself. This book was recommended by a friend who highly regarded it. So I read it and it really offered some fresh views on some difficult subjects I had asked the Lord about. As with every Christian book, you have to weigh for yourself if you believe what an author says is biblically accurate. What I found was that this book breathed a calming fresh breath of perspective into the way I see God. A very loving, freeing perspective. I would recommend this book with the caveat that you pray and read the Bible for yourself to judge it. But it really refreshed me!

A great theology book for every Christian.

Reviewed in Canada on February 5, 2022

The Naked Gospel is a book for New Covenant believers on this side of the Cross. Religious people who are legalistic hate it. I've given about 20 copies away and learning to walk with Jesus through the Spirit has freed many people. But it upsets the pharisees of today in a big way... So if you are not a Jew, you were never invited to the law anyway. So Farley does a great job of explaining from Scripture how we are free in Jesus and how to cast off all the other weights but on you by most of our churches and well meaning christians. Essential reading in colleges and churches today.

More than saved by grace...

Reviewed in Australia on August 16, 2022

Verified Purchase

It's one thing to know and understand being saved by grace through trusting in Jesus. It is another thing to actually let this seep into our lives and realise, fully grasp and act like it is so. Even if you understand grace as opposed to a works based theology, you may not realise just how entangled and confused we can become in our lived life. Farley illuminates the room and attempts to leave nothing unturned in order to show the folly and pain of attempting to prove ourselves in all the varying ways and mindsets which keep us in bondage, and prevent us from truly living the truths of the Gospel (good news) despite having received it.
