The Gospel According to God: Rediscovering the Most Remarkable Chapter in the Old Testament

“We have all gained immensely from the pen and preaching of John MacArthur for almost half a century due to his unflinching fidelity to the Scriptures. In The Gospel according to God he is again in his element as he deals with a matter at the very heart of the Christian gospelChrists atoning sacrifice. Isaiah 53 is a rare but amazingly rich vein of gospel truth, and Dr. MacArthur mines it with his usual precision and evangelical warmth. If you want to gain a fresh view of Calvarys love to enlarge your mind and heart, this is the book to buy and read!”

“As an eight-year-old boy in a Scottish state school I was forced to learn Isaiah 53 by heart. The teacher said it was about Jesus. She was right. But I wish she had been able to read The Gospel according to God. Then she could have shown me how Isaiahs prophecy would be fulfilled in detail. And she could have helped me to understand the meaning of the terrible loneliness, violence, shame, and rejection the Savior endured for me. Thats what The Gospel according to God does. And it does it with all the Bible-saturated boldness we have come to expect from its author, John MacArthur.”

“Isaiah 52:1353:12 shows the height, depth, and width of the wisdom of God and even the infallibility of his Word. And all that richness is made clear in this book by one of the most gifted and Bible-saturated teachers of our times. MacArthur has done it again; this is the result of searching, believing, and exposing the Scriptures for almost half a century. As you read this profound study, our Redeemer looks more gracious, merciful, desirable, and worthy. This is a must-read!”

“The Gospel according to God is John MacArthurs powerful, clear, scriptural exposition of Isaiah 52:1353:12. It is a particular delight to listen in these pages to MacArthur preach the gospel from the Old Testament. Linger here awhile and learn of Christ from the passage God used to transform the life of the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:2738).”

“This master expositor and skilled theologian has spent his entire ministry defining and defending the gospel of Jesus Christ. In these pages you will discover the biblical basis for the good news of salvation found in the person and work of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Your heart will be thrilled as you behold the glory of God in the image of him who is the only Savior of sinners, the Lord of heaven and earth. Here is yet another doctrinally profound yet easily accessible book by this best-selling author. Whatever MacArthur writes, read it for the good of your soul. This book is no exception.”

“MacArthur gets better and better. The Gospel according to God is sure to become the definitive treatment of Isaiah 53 for years to come. An outstanding achievement by one of our leading pastor-theologians.”

“John MacArthurs skillful exposition of Isaiah 53 brings us face-to-face with the gospel of Christ crucified. In the death of our divine substitute, we behold the height of Gods love and the depth of our iniquity. The clarity of this prophecy is all the more astonishing when we realize that God revealed it to Israel seven centuries before Jesus came. Though Christians hold to different understandings of Gods covenant and the end of the age, we find ourselves drawn together as we bow at the foot of the cross in adoration and humble joy.”

“The Gospel according to God is a beautifully written exposition of the gospel of Jesus Christ as it is revealed through the prophet Isaiah. Like Philip in the chariot of the Ethiopian court official, MacArthur takes up his pen and, beginning from Isaiah, preaches Jesus to us! The work is scholarly yet devotionala resource for teaching the gospel to the church and a tool for the evangelization of both Jew and Gentile.”
