<transcy>The Gospel According to God (Isaiah 53) (L'Évangile selon Dieu)</transcy>
Often regarded as one of the most important passages in the Bible, Isaiah 53's prophecy about the Suffering Servant foretells the crucifixion of Jesus, the central event in God's ultimate plan for the redemption of the world.
This book explains, verse by verse, the prophetic words of Isaiah 53, while highlighting the important connection this passage has with the history of Israel and the New Testament. It shows us how this ancient prophecy exposes the essential truths that are still so relevant today to our lives.

Recommendations
" The Gospel According to God is a remarkably well-written exposition of the gospel of Jesus Christ as revealed by the prophet Isaiah. Like Philip in the chariot of the Ethiopian minister, MacArthur takes up the pen and, starting with Isaiah, announces Jesus to us! This work, both academic and devotional, is a resource for teaching the gospel in the Church and a tool for the evangelization of Jews and non-Jews. »

"The clever exposition of Isaiah 53 by John MacArthur brings us into the presence of the gospel of Christ crucified. In the death of our divine Substitute, we contemplate the height of God's love and the depth of our iniquity. The clarity of this prophecy is all the more surprising when we see that God revealed it to Israel seven centuries before the coming of Jesus. Although Christians have various ways of interpreting the covenant of God and the end of times, we find ourselves united at the foot of the cross, in worship and in humble joy. »

"MacArthur never ceases to outdo himself. The Gospel According to God will undoubtedly become a reference work on Isaiah 53 for many years to come. An exceptional achievement by one of our leading pastors and theologians.

" The Gospel According to God , by John MacArthur, is a striking, clear and solid exposition of Isaiah 52.13 to 53.12. It is especially a joy “to hear” in these pages MacArthur preaching the gospel from the Old Testament. As you dwell on these pages for a little while, you will discover Christ in the passage God used to transform the life of the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:27-38). »

“The passage from Isaiah 52.13 to 53.12 shows the height, depth and breadth of the wisdom of God, and even the infallibility of His Word. All of this richness is evidenced in this book by one of the most gifted and learned Bible teachers of our time. MacArthur goes above and beyond, to offer us the results of his research, his faith, and his exposure of the scriptures for nearly half a century. As you read this profound study, our Redeemer will appear to you more and more compassionate, merciful, desirable and worthy. A must-read must-read! »

"When I was an eight-year-old child in a Scottish public school, I was 'forced' to memorize Isaiah 53. The teacher told us that this passage was about Jesus, and she was right. However, I wish she could read The Gospel According to God . She could then have shown me how this prophecy of Isaiah would be fulfilled in detail. She would also have been able to help me understand the meaning of the terrible loneliness, violence, shame, and rejection the Savior endured for me. This is what The Gospel According to God does, with all the scripture-saturated boldness that author John MacArthur offers us once again. »
- Sinclair B. Ferguson, Full Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary
“For nearly half a century, we have all benefited immensely from the works and sermons of John MacArthur through his faithfulness to the scriptures. In The Gospel According to God , he finds himself in his element as he deals with an issue at the very heart of the Christian gospel, namely the atoning sacrifice of Christ. Isaiah 53 is a rare text, but extraordinarily rich in gospel truth, and John MacArthur dissects it with his usual precision and evangelical ardor. If you want to gain a new perspective on the love of Calvary and expand your mind and heart, be sure to buy and read this book! »
