The apostles understood the Gospel as they learned from and personally
lived alongside Jesus, and these lessons became the heart of their
message to an unsaved world. But what does their perspective mean
for modern Christians, and how can we read the Bible through their
unique lens today?
Following the release of his bestselling book The Gospel According to
Jesus, Dr. MacArthur noticed that Christians were looking for practical
advice, spiritual counsel, and accessible explanations of the Bible.
And, most of all, they wanted help understanding their experiences
within Christianity. Dr. MacArthur realized that by examining scripture
from the perspective of the apostles themselves, even more Christians
could come to know the Gospel as Jesus' earliest followers did.
In his characteristic compelling style, Dr. MacArthur examines some of
the key passages from the Epistles and Acts that reveal how the apostles
first shared the gospel and how they unfolded the truths of salvation to
the early church.
Dr. MacArthur doesn't shy away from answering some of the difficult
questions that he's been asked over the years, including:
- What is cheap grace?
- Have some Christians adopted a "no-lordship" theology?
- What must a person do to be considered righteous by God?
- How should we call people to faith?
- Do our works have any effect on our salvation?
The Gospel According to the Apostles is a book for every Christian who
wants to experience, understand, and fall in love with the same gospel
that Jesus preached.
