The focus of this book is on what the Scriptures teach regarding salvation, particularly as passages relate to the theology of salvation (i.e., "soteriology") of what has been called "lordship salvation." This book is organized into ten chapters, which could be viewed as essays that build upon one another, with the first four essays being somewhat foundational in introducing concepts to be explored, such as: "saving faith," "repentance," and the word "gospel." Following the ten chapters, there are three appendix chapters, and then a Bonus Section is offered, with brief word studies from three passages related to this topic.
An associate publisher for a major Christian publishing company wrote: "I very much believe that you cover some critical ground here and I especially appreciate your winsome determination to help all parties in this conversation to have common language and starting points. You are careful, nuanced, and a solid writer. I believe this contribution and perspective is a helpful one."
Even if you have already considered the various positions and have determined where you (or your church) stand on the issues, may I suggest that this book is a must-read. You will not be disappointed.
