Ever since the days of the apostles Paul and James, who seemed to be in contradiction, Christians have struggled to define the proper tension between faith and works. Salvation, Paul stresses, is "not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). But James argues, "Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works" (James 2:18).

In clear and compelling terms, best-selling author John MacArthur reconciles these two seemingly divergent threads of biblical truth, addressing the difficult questions head on:

• What is cheap grace?
• Have some Christians adopted a "no-lordship" theology?
• What must a person do to be considered righteous by God?
• Do your works have any effect on your salvation?

"The Gospel According to the Apostles is the same gospel Jesus preached," Pastor MacArthur says, "but it differs dramatically from the diluted message popular today...you'll find this book an encouragement as you seek to put your own faith to work."
