About this audiobook
From Bible teacher John MacArthur, a revelatory exploration of what the apostle Paul actually taught about the Good News of Jesus.
The apostle Paul penned a number of very concise, focused passages in his letters to the early church that summarize the gospel message in just a few well-chosen words. Each of these key texts has a unique emphasis highlighting some essential aspect of the Good News of Jesus Christ. The chapters in this revelatory new book closely examine those vital gospel texts, one verse at a time.
John MacArthur, host of the popular media ministry Grace to You, tackles such questions as:
- What is the gospel?
- What are the essential elements of the message?
- How can we be certain we have it right?
- And how should Christians be proclaiming the Good News to the world?
As always, the answers John MacArthur gives are clear, compelling, well-reasoned, easy to grasp, and above all, thoroughly biblical. The Gospel According to Paul is written in a style that is easily accessible to lay people, including those who know very little about the Bible, while being of great value to seasoned pastors and experienced ministers.
The Gospel According to Paul is the third in a series of books on the gospel by John MacArthur including – The Gospel According to Jesus and The Gospel According to the Apostles. The Gospel According to Paul is also available in Spanish, Evangelio según Pablo.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a mixed bag. Some appreciate John MacArthur's ability to speak directly to the reader, while others feel that his writing is more like historical fiction than real analysis. Those looking for a deep exploration of the historical context and meaning behind the texts may be disappointed. However, there are also readers who believe that these books are exactly what our modern age needs and praise MacArthur for his proper exposition of Scripture.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5John MacArthur always hits the reader right where he or she needs to hear the words spoken.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5These are the books that our modern age desperately needs. Praise be to God for proper exposition of Scripture by John MacArthur.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5MacArthur’s writing is more historical fiction than real analysis. If your looking to confirm what you’ve already been told a thousand times in Sunday school then this is your book.
If you’re looking for a real exploration of the historical context of Paul and the meaning behind the texts, look elsewhere. This is written for those who treat the Bible as spiritual candy or those who want to uphold the traditions of their childhood.
