<transcy>The Gospel According to Paul (L'Évangile selon Paul)</transcy>
What did Paul actually teach about the Good News of Jesus?
In his letters to the early church, the apostle Paul wrote a number of passages that sum up the gospel message in a few carefully chosen words. Each of these key texts reveals a fundamental aspect of the Good News of Jesus Christ. The chapters of this book examine, verse by verse, these essential gospel texts.
In this book, John MacArthur addresses questions such as:
• What is the gospel?
• What are the elements that are at the heart of his message?
• How can we be sure that we have understood him correctly?
• How should believers announce the Good News?
As always, the answers given by John MacArthur are clear, compelling, thoughtful, easy to grasp, and most importantly, deeply biblical. The Gospel According to Paul is written in an accessible style that will be appreciated by seasoned pastors as well as those with little knowledge of the Bible.

Recommendations
"Twenty years ago John MacArthur sounded the alarm that nothing less than the demise of the gospel was imminent. In The Gospel According to Jesus, MacArthur prophetically challenged the Church to affirm the gospel as Christ preached it. Today, faced with a new crisis in evangelical Christianity, MacArthur is once again setting the record straight with The Gospel According to Paul. This is the right book, from the right author at the right time. I urge all evangelical Christians to read it. »
- R. Albert Mohler, Jr., rector of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“In this hour of spiritual darkness, the gospel of Jesus Christ is under attack from all sides. John MacArthur, having made the exegesis and pulpit exposition of the Thirteen Epistles of the Apostle Paul with depth and precision, is the right man to document and defend the message of salvation in Jesus Christ. The Gospel According to Paul is a theologically rich and carefully prepared book that the Church today sorely needs. This is a book that everyone should read whether they are a Christian or not. »
- Steven J. Lawson, OnePassion Ministries, Dallas, Texas
“In the wake of alarmist voices telling us that we have fundamentally misunderstood Paul, the Church is in desperate need of new material about the apostle and his understanding of the gospel. I cannot find anyone more qualified than John MacArthur to provide this material. It is uplifting and so rich on crucial gospel topics that every Christian should know. I am delighted that once again John MacArthur has brought us a very timely and necessary book.

"We don't need a new perspective from the apostle Paul, but from the biblical position. As always, John MacArthur delivers. »
- Todd Friel, radio host
"Nothing is more important than our understanding of the gospel. The latter must be understood and conveyed clearly. John MacArthur made it the passion of his life. Having helped an entire generation to steer clear of a variety of heretical assaults on the gospel, he now delivers a clear and vibrant expression of the doctrine of salvation by insightfully developing the inspired words of the apostle Paul. . The Gospel according to Paul is a timely book, a necessary assemblage of eternal truths inseparable from the Good News of grace. This information about the life and teaching of the Apostle Paul will certainly enrich your faith and increase your understanding of this foundational New Testament doctrine. ”
