"The Gospel According to Jesus" is a modern-day theological masterpiece. With piercing discernment, Spirit-led exegesis, and Christian love John MacArthur exposes the error of the "cheap grace" theology that plagues the church today. His analysis of Christ's words is the much-needed cure for the common misinterpretations of Paul which have led to antinomian teaching. This book is a response to those who "distort [Paul's letters], as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction" (1 Peter 3:16). The passion and understanding of this book far outmatch any other modern theological work you will come across. MacArthur adheres to the plain sense of the scripture and refuses to allow the words of Christ, apostle and prophet to be trampled underfoot by the anti-lordship teachers. His gentleness and kindness in dealing with those he argues against is admirable (Paul, Luther or Calvin would have verbally torn them apart). This book has been used by God to awaken many to the truth of Christ's undivided person--that He is both Savior and Lord. I pray He will use it even more in the years to come.

The authentic Gospel is here proclaimed and with a seldom seen sharpeness to that, here's one of Mc Arthur's most important works, and I marvel at that it's so far back in this list at amazon.com as it is. I see the tendency to restorationism in this work and to that end the challenges are so daring and controversial that it will, if not understood correctly, maybe scare off the mainstream and the traditionalist, yet those with discernment and interest in the essential and crucial aspects of the faith will find in it the pearls longed for.
