One with Christ: An Evangelical Theology of Salvation

By Marcus Peter Johnson

Book Overview

Despite our love for the Bible, emphasis on the cross, and passion for evangelism, many evangelicals ironically neglect that which is central to the gospel. In our preaching, teaching, and witnessing, we often separate salvation from the Savior.

Looking to the Scriptures and church history, Marcus Johnson reveals the true riches of our salvation by reintroducing us to the foundation of our redemption--our mysterious union with the living Christ.

Offers an accessible overview of union with Christ--a theological topic currently attracting increased scholarly and pastoral interest Explores the relationship between union with Christ and other key doctrines such as justification, sanctification, adoption, and perseverance Includes a discussion of the significance of a believer's union with Christ for understanding ecclesiology, specifically with regard to baptism and communion Draws on insights from historical figures such as Augustine, Luther, and Calvin
