Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

A theological definition of “salvation” usually emphasizes the idea of “deliverance from sin.” In this classic work on the subject, Dr. Chafer explores the multifaceted implications of that simple statement. In exploring the larger meaning of the word “salvation,” Chafer looks at God’s works for the individual, such as atonement, grace, propitiation, forgiveness, justification, imputation, regeneration, adoption, sanctification, redemption, and glorification and also touches on topics such as the threefold message of the Cross and the one condition of salvation.

“I rejoice in his faithful and forceful message, and am glad of the privilege of calling attention to a presentation of the way of salvation which is certain to lead all who read it earnestly to a living faith in Christ. . . .”

—Dr. W. H. Griffith Thomas

Lewis Sperry Chafer (1871–1952), American Presbyterian clergyman and educator, was born in Rock Creek, Ohio; studied at New Lyme Academy and Oberlin Conservatory and College; and studied under C. I. Scofield. Ordained in 1900, Chafer had diverse talents. He was a traveling evangelist and a Bible lecturer, he taught Bible at Philadelphia School of the Bible, and for many years was the editor of the theological journal Bibliotheca Sacra. In 1924 he founded the Evangelical Theological College (now Dallas Theological Seminary) and was its president and a professor of systematic theology until his death.

            His many other works include Satan: His Motives and Methods, True Evangelism, The Kingdom in History and Prophecy, He That Is Spiritual, Grace, Major Bible Themes, The Ephesian Letter, and the eight-volume Systematic Theology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has to be one of the best books on salvation ever written!!!, October 23, 1999

This review is from: Salvation: God's Marvelous Work of Grace (Paperback)

Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer was used by the Lord as a champion of grace. And I have no doubt that this continues even today....long after Dr. Chafer has gone to be with the Lord. I recommend this book both to unbeliever and believer alike. I have never read a more comprehensive book explaining the marvelous salvation that God offers the whole world through simple faith in Jesus Christ!!!

This is hands down the best book on salvation ever. Lewis Sperry Chafer is one who teaches the true "saved by grace through faith" message. A must read, especially in todays world of so many different gospels being preached.

God has given Lewis Sperry Chafer a clear insite into the wounderful world of the Christian life. He clearly states the wonderful gifts God has so graceously given the Christian upon His Salvation.

He very clearly states "Who" we are in Christ Jesus. Our "Positons" in Christ while here on this earth and in heaven. Totally Awesome book.

A must have for any Christian.
