"What does it mean to be "saved by grace"? Now revised and updated, this classic reminds readers of the Reformation's radical view of God and his saving grace, the liberating yet humbling truth that we contribute nothing to our salvation. It lays out the scriptural basis for this doctrine and its implications for a vibrant evangelical faith. Horton's accessible treatment will inspire readers with a fresh amazement at God's grace.

"In this final volume of a four-volume series, Michael Horton explores the origin, mission, and destiny of the church through the lens of covenantal theology. Arguing that the history of Israel and the covenant of grace provide the proper context for New Testament ecclesiology, Horton then shows how the church is constituted through the ascension of Christ, the Pentecost, and the Parousia and how it continues to live by the Word and sacr ..."

"Dunn appeals to what he regards as the “consensus” that not only Paul but also
the Gospels (especially Matthew and John) misrepresent to some extent the true
convictions of the Pharisees.1 In this section I suggest that once again false
choices are resolved when we substitute a two-covenant paradigm for the single
“pattern of religion” known as covenantal nomism. In 1914 C. G. Montefiore
distinguished rabbinic, apocalyptic, and Hel ..."

"The premise of this was that we're not hitting 80 percent of our target
demographic going to church.”3 Ironically, the same pragmatic marketing criteria
are being used to move away from seeker-driven shallowness. The unchurched,
especially the younger crowd, are burned out on hype. “That makes Soul
Purpose [the single's ministry] probably the most 'ecclesiastical' ministry in our
very non-traditional church.”4 Rich Hurst, the other ..."
"In this innovative work in theological method and hermeneutics, Michael S. Horton uses the motif of the covenant as a way of binding together God's "word" and God's "act." Seeking an integration of theological method with the content of Christian theology, Horton emphasizes God's covenant as God's way of working for redemption in the world. Horton maintains a substantial dialogue with important philosophical figures and Christian theolo ..."

"pp. 259, "Michael Horton introduces a new generation of Christians to the Apostle's Creed, proving that its message is as timeless as it is historical. In doing so, he demonstrates how the creed answers essential questions of faith in an age when answers are hard to find.""
"Have modern believers grown too comfortable with God? In response to the unbiblical, mystical spirituality of our day, Michael Horton calls for a return to the teaching of the Apostle Paul and the early church. The result is a compelling picture of true spiritual intimacy with God."
"Being a "worldly Christian" may sound like an oxymoron, but Michael Horton argues that this is the proper role for followers of Christ. That is, they should be fully engaged in the culture around them, while holding fast to the foundations of faith."

"An incisive evaluation of American Christianity by the author of Putting the Amazing Back Into Grace. Cultural accommodation is the primary charge leveled by this historical and cultural examination of evangelicalism. Horton contends that American Christianity, once distinguished by passionate, warm-hearted orthodoxy, has largely become a popular religion of shallow assertions and legalism."
"Ruled by sociology (the church growth movement), psychology (the self-esteem movement), and politics (both the Christian left and right), some respected Christian leaders consider the evangelical church today to have gone too far in adopting the world's tactics in the name of progress and betterment for the church."

"What Do All Christians Believe? For many people, words like doctrine and theology cause their eyes to glaze over, or they find them difficult to understand and struggle to see how they are relevant to daily life. But theology is far from boring; it is the study of God and should lead to awe and wonder as we better understand who God is and what he has done for us. In Core Christianity, author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton tackles ..."

"Radical. Crazy. Transformative and restless. Every word we read these days seems to suggest there's a "next-best-thing," if only we would change our comfortable, compromising lives. In fact, the greatest fear most Christians have is boredom--the sense that they are missing out on the radical life Jesus promised. One thing is certain. No one wants to be "ordinary." Yet pastor and author Michael Horton believes that our attempts to measur ..."

Writing so as to allow Calvin to speak for himself as much as possi ..."
