Description
This singular, comprehensive treatment of one of Christianity's essential doctrines gives definitive, Bible-based answers about salvation and the cross-and about related theological issues such as grace and regeneration.
"A very good book about that most distinctive and vital Christian doctrine: salvation in Christ... I can imagine more than one teacher (myself included) considering the construction of an entire course around this book... Moreover, Demarest's competence in several disciplines means the work would stretch even advanced students into that integration of biblical foundations, theology (including theology in its historical dimensions), and personal/ministry application for which we all surely long." -Bob Robinson, Contributor, Bibliotheca Sacra "A valuable contribution to the evangelical theological community. Lucid and readable, Demarest's work is an encyclopedic approach to the subject, which results in a good sourcebook on the major options in the hotly contested doctrines of soteriology. Demarest's treatment of such issues as lordship salvation, the nature of repentance, and various views of sanctification indicate his familiarity with the various options. Although no reader will agree with every theological position Demarest adopts, his explanations of views with which he disagrees seem fair... It would make an excellent textbook for seminary or graduate courses in soteriology and a helpful addition to any pastor's library." -Glenn Kreider, Professor of Theological Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary; Contributor, Bibliotheca Sacra
