A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION
What this book explores
A conservative evangelical defense of “lordship salvation” against versions of conversion detached from discipleship.
EDITORIAL NOTE
Why it’s in the Library
It helps travelers locate strict discipleship language within a specific internal evangelical controversy rather than treating it as Christianity's single answer. Strong positions are easier to evaluate when their assumptions and opponents are visible.
Good starting place if…
You need to understand a consequential conservative evangelical dispute about grace, conversion, obedience, assurance, and what following Jesus requires.
Know before you begin…
MacArthur argues polemically from biblical inerrancy and a Reformed evangelical framework against rival evangelical accounts of salvation. The book is included to represent an influential position clearly, not as the Library's theological standard.
