There can be no doubt that Jesus, 'a religious genius' as Geza Vermes describes him, lived and taught in Palestine some 2000 years ago. The influence he has had is incalculable. How though can we distinguish between the doctrines shaped to the needs of the burgeoning Christian church and the original views laid out by Jesus himself? How can we dig back through the additions, misinterpretations and confusions of later writers and two millennia of tradition to get back to the authentic gospel of Jesus? In his new book, Vermes subjects all the sayings of Jesus to brilliantly informed scrutiny. The result is a book of unique value and novelty--scraping aside the accretions of centuries to come as close as we can hope to be to the true Jesus.

The apostle Paul gave the gospel the first place in his preaching, endeavored with all his might to proclaim it clearly, and even went so far as to pronounce a curse upon all those who would pervert its truth. Yet how sad it is that many, even among those considering themselves evangelicals, have reduced the gospel message to a few trite statements to be repeated, and view conversion as a mere human decision. In The Gospel Call and True Conversion , Paul Washer challenges such easy believism as he examines the real meaning of things like faith, repentance, and receiving Christ. He also deals extensively with the effects of saving grace that God promises in the new covenant; namely, the creation of new hearts and new people. Table of Contents: PART ONE: The Gospel Call 1. A Call to Repentance 2. A Call to Faith 3. Believe and Confess 4. Receiving Christ 5. Christ at Heart’s Door PART TWO: New Hearts and the Nature of True Conversion 6. The Great Motive and End of Salvation 7. The Author of Salvation 8. Separation and Cleansing 9. A New Heart 10. The Effectual Spirit PART THREE: New People and the Nature of True Conversion 11. The Glory of the New Covenant 12. The Making of New People 13. The Christian’s Sure Knowledge of God 14. The Heart and Way of God’s People 15. The Everlasting Covenant 16. God’s Goodness to His People Series Descriptions Although the Recovering the Gospel Series does not represent an entirely systematic presentation of the gospel, it does address most of the essential elements, especially those that are most neglected in contemporary Christianity. It is the hope of the author that these words might be a guide to help you rediscover the gospel in all its beauty, scandal, and saving power. It is his prayer that such a rediscovery might transform your life, strengthen your proclamation, and bring the greatest glory to God.

The first edition of The Gospel According to Jesus won wide acclaim in confronting the "easy-believism" that has characterized some quarters in evangelical ChristiaOver the past 50 years, a handful of books have become true classics, revered world-wide for their crystal-clear presentation of the Gospel and lauded for their contribution to the Christian faith. These extraordinary books are read, re-read, and discussed in churches, Bible study groups, and homes everywhere. John MacArthur's The Gospel According to Jesus is one of those books. In The Gospel According to Jesus, MacArthur tackles the idea of "easy believism," challenging Christians to re-evaluate their commitment to Christ by examining their fruits. MacArthur asks, "What does it really mean to be saved?" He urges readers to understand that their conversion was more than a mere point in time, that, by definition, it includes a lifetime of obediently walking with Jesus as Lord. This 20th Anniversary edition of MacArthur's provocative, Scripture-based book contains one new chapter and is further revised to provide Christians in the 21st century a fresh perspective on the intrinsic relationship between faith and works, clearly revealing why Jesus is both Savior and Lord to all who believe. nity. This expanded edition deepens the debate over "lordship salvation" and the biblical understanding of faith and works in adding a new chapter.

"We're being raised in a world whose pervasive philosophies have had a cumulative effect on the gospel that's being preached, and most Christians are totally oblivious. The grace and love of God have been cheapened, skewed, and miscommunicated. The cross has been belittled, redemption diminished, and the power of Jesus' resurrection disregarded. If you were to honestly examine the American gospel under the scrutiny of the Word of God, you would find critical flaws that are far worse than matters of a twisted 'prosperity gospel.' I believe that even the basic fundamentals of Christian philosophy are being misunderstood. Most of us think we know what it means when we confess that Jesus died for our sins, but we often don't."In his book, Lead Pastor of Valiant Church in New Hope, MN, David Grams, invites to weigh your belief's against the core tenets of the New Testament, guaranteeing you a much deeper understanding of the gospel that easily exposes the many flaws in mainstream Christianity. You'll find that the gospel has very little to do with a mere forgiveness of sin or Jesus' substitutionary death. It has to do with complete freedom from sin and a completely new life, teaching that Christ didn't only die for us, but He died AS us. Some of the most minuscule corrections to our beliefs bring about colossal improvement to our lives. Contrarily, some of the tiniest lies in our doctrine produce destruction. This book will help you identify those lies and bring correction, healing, and spiritual breakthrough to your life.

This now classic book is a significant corrective to several recent developments in the study of the historical Jesus. In contrast to depictions of Jesus as a wandering Cynic teacher, Geza Vermes offers a portrait based on evidence of charismatic activity in first-century Galilee. Vermes shows how the major New Testament titles of Jesus-prophet, Lord, Messiah, son of man, Son of God-can be understood in this historical context. The result is a description of Jesus that retains its power and its credibility.

In this arousing new work, Walter Chantry expounds from Christ's dealing with the rich young ruler the essential elements in gospel preaching. A close examination of the scripture evidence leads to this conclusion: "Differences between much of today's preaching and that of Jesus are not petty; they are enormous. The chief errors are not in emphasis or approach but in the heart of the gospel message. Were there a deficiency in one of the areas mentioned in these pages, it would be serious. But to ignore all -- the attributes of God, the holy law of God, repentance, a call to bow to the enthroned Christ -- and to pervert the doctrine of assurance, is the most vital mistake. This powerfully-written book has a message which goes to the heart of the contemporary problem in a way that conferences and commissions on evangelism have failed to do. Its expository approach is particularly valuable. - Back cover.
