The Gospel According to Jesus

First published in 1988, this book ignited what became known as the "Lordship Salvation controversy," an evangelical debate over whether repentance and submission to Christ as Lord are necessary parts of saving faith. MacArthur examines Jesus's own words on discipleship to answer the question.

The revised and expanded edition catalogued here includes responses to the criticism the book received and additional material on the nature of genuine faith versus mere intellectual assent.
