From Bible teacher John MacArthur, a revelatory exploration of what the apostle Paul actually taught about the Good News of Jesus.
The apostle Paul penned a number of very concise, focused passages in his letters to the early church that summarize the gospel message in just a few well-chosen words. Each of these key texts has a unique emphasis highlighting some essential aspect of the Good News of Jesus Christ. The chapters in this revelatory new book closely examine those vital gospel texts, one verse at a time.
John MacArthur, host of the popular media ministry Grace to You, tackles such questions as:
As always, the answers John MacArthur gives are clear, compelling, well-reasoned, easy to grasp, and above all, thoroughly biblical. The Gospel According to Paul is written in a style that is easily accessible to lay people, including those who know very little about the Bible, while being of great value to seasoned pastors and experienced ministers.
The Gospel According to Paul is the third in a series of books on the gospel by John MacArthur including - The Gospel According to Jesus and The Gospel According to the Apostles. The Gospel According to Paul is also available in Spanish, Evangelio según Pablo.
Timothy Keller's bestselling Galatians For You walks you through the book of Galatians, showing how the gospel message changes the whole of our lives. It will will excite ordinary Christians in their faith and equip teachers and preachers in their work.
Combining close attention to the text with Timothy Keller's trademark gift for clear explanation and compelling insights, Galatians for You is a uniquely flexible resource. It can simply be read as a book; used as a daily devotional, complete with reflection questions; or utilized by anyone who has a teaching ministry, to help small-group leaders understand and apply the text, and to give preachers helpful ways of connecting timeless Bible truths to today's world.
Galatians is all about the gospel - the gospel all of us need throughout all of our lives. It's dynamite, and I pray that its powerful message explodes in your heart as you read this book.

Timothy Keller was the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, Chairman of Redeemer City to City and a best-selling author.
The centuries after the Protestant Reformation brought about a radical reinterpretation of the epistles of St. Paul, disconnected from any historical reality. But Paul operated, during his entire life, as a faithful Pharisee within the Roman Jewish world. In Saint Paul the Pharisee: Jewish Apostle to All Nations, Fr. Stephen De Young surveys Paul's life and writings, interpreting them within the Holy Tradition of the Orthodox Church. This survey is followed by De Young's interpretive translation of St. Paul's epistles, which deliberately avoids overly familiar terminology. By using words and ideas grounded in first-century Judaism, De Young hopes to unsettle commonly held notions and help the reader reassess St. Paul in his historical context.
A Trusted Resource for Your Study of God's Word
Unlock the treasure of the joy epistle, which pinpoints the joy-stealers in life and shows why you don't need to be anxious. Like us, the believers at Philippi needed to understand what it means to be joyful in Christ, no matter what the circumstances may be. However, God wants us to discover the secret of true joy and contentment by living in His will.

For centuries, discussions of early Christianity have focused on male leaders. But there is ample evidence in the New Testament that women were respected leaders at the frontier of the gospel ministry. Nijay Gupta shines light on the inspiring contributions of women like Phoebe, Prisca, Junia, Nympha, and more.
Women are not inferior to men--so why does the church sometimes treat women as less capable or valued than men?
Women are told to be bold, assertive, independent, and competitive. They are expected to take leadership, exert authority, be bread-winners, and to single-handedly tackle all of life's demands.
God's high calling for women in the church--a topic still relevant for today--is outlined in 1 Timothy 2:9-15
If followed, His plan results in blessing, unity, and glory for God. In God's High Calling for Women, Dr. John MacArthur discusses important concerns for women in the church as outlined by the apostle Paul: their attitude, appearance, testimony, design and contribution.
Complete with questions for review and thoughts for reflection at the end of each section, this thorough, insightful, yet concise study on the important and controversial subject of women in the church will serve as an excellent resource for personal or group study.
What are foundations? They are the underlying principles necessary for effective growth. In this book, Dr. Hodges reveals that God's grace is not only the foundation of our justification (eternal salvation) but also the basis for our sanctification (our daily walk). Through the lens of Titus 2:11-14, the reader will gain a richer understanding of:
- The Biblical concept of grace
- The Person and work of Christ
- The Gospel and the finished work of the cross
- The distinction between justification and sanctification
- The return of Christ, the judgment seat of Christ, and how these inform our daily living
- Law, liberty, and discipline
- The believer's security in Christ
Dr. Hodges makes these rich truths accessible for all and provides extensive references for the reader wanting to dig deeper. For the believer desiring a firm foundation in the grace of God, this book is a must-read!

An in-depth study of Romans from today's foremost interpreter of Paul.
Romans is often and for good reason considered a crux of Christian thought and theology, the greatest of Paul's letters. And within Romans, chapter 8 is one of the most spectacular pieces of early Christian writing.
But to many readers, Romans can be a deceptively difficult book. Its scope and basic meaning may be clear, but it can be hard to see how it all fits together into a cohesive, if complex, doctrinal argument.
N. T. Wright--widely regarded as the most influential commentator and interpreter of Paul--deftly unpacks this dense and sometimes elusive letter, detailing Paul's arguments and showing how it illuminates the Gospel from the promises to Abraham through the visions of Revelation. Wright takes a deep dive into Romans 8, showing how it illuminates so much else that God reveals in Scripture: God the Father, Christology, and the Spirit; Jesus' Messiahship, cross, resurrection, and ascension; salvation, redemption, and adoption; suffering and glory; holiness and hope.
Into the Heart of Romans will help you become familiar with the book of Romans in a deeper way that will also deepen your understanding and appreciation of the Gospel itself.
The theology of the apostle Paul is complex, set forth in numerous occasional letters, and subject to a seemingly endless variety of interpretations. How should students of Scripture engage the challenging task of discerning the shape of Paul's thought? In Paul, Apostle of God's Glory in Christ, Thomas R. Schreiner seeks to unearth Paul's worldview by observing what Paul actually says in his writings and laying out the most important themes and how they are connected.
According to Schreiner, The passion of Paul's life, the foundation and capstone of his vision, and the animating motive of his mission was the supremacy of God in and through the Lord Jesus Christ. While continuing to return to this foundation, Schreiner explores themes such as the inclusion of the Gentiles in God's people, the power of sin, God's liberating work of grace, and the unity of the church, as well as the often-neglected topics of Paul as a missionary and his apostolic sufferings.
This second edition is revised throughout and engages with more recent works on Paul. While thoroughly informed by the issues of contemporary Pauline studies, Schreiner offers an accessible account of Paul's theology that focuses on the primary sources. Paul, Apostle of God's Glory in Christ remains a sound, insightful, and trusted exposition of Paul's theology that is well-geared to the needs of seminary students and working pastors.
Paul and the Gift transformed the landscape of Pauline studies upon its publication in 2015. In it, John Barclay led readers through a recontextualized analysis of grace and interrogated Paul's original meaning in declaring it a free gift from God, revealing grace as a multifaceted concept that is socially radical and unconditioned--even if not unconditional.
Paul and the Power of Grace offers all of the most significant contributions from Paul and the Gift in a package several hundred pages shorter and more accessible. Additionally, Barclay adds further analysis of the theme of gift and grace in Paul's other letters--besides just Romans and Galatians--and explores contemporary implications for this new view of grace.
When Paul penned his famous passage on the armor of God, was he borrowing imagery from a Roman soldier's kit and gear? Hardly. That would have been a disastrous way to appeal to Christians oppressed by Rome.
The real inspiration for Paul's analogy is more scripturally consistent. In describing the believers' armor, the Hebrew of Hebrews was simply speaking in his mother tongue: the Old Testament.
God has made us a kingdom of priests. Christ, our great High Priest, makes it clear by example that our priestly duty is to be on the offensive against Satan's kingdom.
To fight, you want an armor suited for your needs. God's priests need a priestly armor.
Inductive Bible Study Helps Readers Understand Colossians and Philemon
While confined to house arrest, the apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Colossian church and to the man who hosted the church in his house. Paul's words brought clarity to confusion, hope where there was fear, and called for unity amid this especially diverse congregation. His letters were not only reminders for them, but also for modern readers in the church today, of the eternal impact of Christ's life, death, and resurrection.
This addition to the Meet Me in the Bible series presents a practical 5-step framework for examining the epistles of Colossians and Philemon. Ideal for personal use and groups at any level, this inductive study helps readers observe and interpret Scripture and apply it to everyday life. Each chapter explores a section of the biblical text, expounding themes including the fruit of the gospel, the heart of the gospel, what to put off and what to put on as a Christian, and the unity that the gospel brings.
