The Gospel According to Paul

Posted on 21 October 2017 by John F. MacArthur Jr.

From master expositor and Bible teacher John MacArthur, a revelatory exploration of what the apostle Paul actually taught about the good news of JesusThe apostle Paul penned a number of very pithy, focused passages in his letters to the early church that summarize the gospel message in just a few well chosen words Each of these key texts has a unique emphasis highlighting some essential aspect of the Good News The chapters in this revelatory new book closely examine those vital gospel texts, one verse at a time John MacArthur, host of the popular media ministry Grace to You, president of the Master s University and Seminary, and longtime pastor at Grace Community Church, tackles such questions as, What is the gospel What are the essential elements of the message How can we be certain we have it right And how should Christians be proclaiming the Good News to the world As always, the answers John MacArthur gives are clear, compelling, well reasoned, easy to grasp, and above all, thoroughly biblical The Gospel According to Paul is written in a style that is easily accessible to lay people, including those who know very little about the Bible, while being of great value to seasoned pastors and experienced ministers.
