One Faithful Life: A Harmony of the Life and Letters of Paul

Description

Experience Paul's world-changing writings in the full, chronological context of his life story--from Pharisee and persecutor of the church to the most influential defender of the gospel of Jesus Christ. "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ..." So goes Paul's typical introduction, a modest title for one of Christianity's most authoritative figures. Unique among the apostles, Paul was well-educated and well-respected in the Jewish community of the day. His story is one of dramatic conversion and passionate instruction. His life's work was becoming a servant of Jesus Christ. From pastor and teacher Dr. John MacArthur, One Faithful Life is the first-of-its-kind harmony of Paul's message and life. As with One Perfect Life--which weaved the Gospels into the seamless narrative of Jesus' life--One Faithful Life walks us chronologically through the biblical ministry of Paul, tying together background information from the Gospels, the book of Acts, and Paul's epistles to the growing movement of Christ-followers. In this comprehensive storyline of the Apostle Paul's life, you'll find: Verse-by-verse explanations and section introductions from one of the most respected pastor-teachers of our time Introductory commentary of the major themes and purpose of each of Paul's letters A fresh perspective on the enduring truths of the gospel message

John MacArthur has served as the pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, since 1969. His ministry of expository preaching is unparalleled in its breadth and influence. In more than four decades of ministry from the same pulpit, he has preached verse by verse through the entire New Testament (and several key sections of the Old Testament). He is president of the Master's University and Seminary and can be heard daily on the Grace to You radio broadcast (carried on hundreds of radio stations worldwide). He has authored a number of bestselling books, including Twelve Ordinary Men, and One Perfect Life.

Yarbrough, PhD Covenant Theological Seminary * 'Many will be helped by this resource from one of the most notable biblical expositors of our day. In One Faithful Life, Dr. John MacArthur's chronological arrangement of the biblical text, with notes to aid the reader's understanding, reveals the life of Paul in a fresh way.' * Thomas R. Schreiner, PhD The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary * 'I am deeply grateful to John MacArthur for assembling One Faithful Life. What a wonderful, biblically faithful resource for a thorough, firsthand study of the life and letters of Paul!' * Andreas J. Koestenberger, PhD Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary * 'One Faithful Life is a wonderful synthesis of the unfolding gospel plan for the New Testament church through the preparation, missions, and ministry of the apostle Paul. The wise arrangement of materials makes the ways that Paul's ministry and message intersect very plain and provides insights that will enhance the preaching of both. The long, faithful ministry of John MacArthur well qualifies him to help fellow preachers proclaim key insights from One Faithful Life lived for Christ Jesus.' * Bryan Chapell, PhD Pastor, Grace Presbyterian Church (PCA) President Emeritus, Covenant Theological Seminary *
