The Gospel According to the Apostles
Overview
The first edition of The Gospel According to Jesus won wide acclaim in confronting the "easy-believism" that has characterized some quarters in evangelical Christianity. This expanded edition deepens the debate over "lordship salvation" and the biblical understanding of faith and works in adding three new chapters and an appendix. The new chapters: — The Vine and the Branches — The Promise of Justification — Tetelestai! The Triumph is Complete — The appendix contains answers to the most often asked questions on the subject of what Jesus really meant when he said "Follow me."
- All Scripture references appear on mouse-over
- Contains a detailed appendix and index
- A fantastic resource on the debate over "lordship salvation"
Top Highlights
“The gospel call to faith presupposes that sinners must repent of their sin and yield to Christ’s authority. That, in a sentence, is what ‘lordship salvation’ teaches.” (source)
“Thus we could properly define grace as the free and benevolent influence of a holy God operating sovereignly in the lives of undeserving sinners.” (source)
“descends from Dr. Chafer’s spiritual lineage. Though Dr” (source)
“But commitment to Christ does mean that obedience rather than disobedience will be our distinguishing trait.” (source)
“Faith works are a consequence of faith, not a component of faith.” (source)
. . . I found it rich and encouraging simply as an exposition of Scripture about the gospel.

This is a well-written prequel to Dr. MacArthur's first book on the subject of Lordship Salvation (and correct/additional understanding of subjects like Perseverance/OSAS) called "The Gospel According to Jesus" (a book I would love to have in my Logos Library as well, I just don't think it's available). --DavidRick
