Synopsis

A deep study on the doctrine of eternal security

Does one moment of faith secure a person's eternal destiny with God—even if that person later stops following and trusting in Jesus? Or does a person have to keep on trusting and following Jesus to remain in a saving relationship with God?

Now expanded with new chapters and research, this landmark book continues to offer one of the most penetrating studies on the controversial doctrine of eternal security, perseverance, and apostasy in the New Testament. Calling into question the popular "once saved, always saved" belief, internationally respected pastor and scholar Dr. Robert Shank reveals that the question we should be asking is not, "Is the believer secure?" but rather, "What does it mean to be a believer?"

Straightforward, thorough, and grounded in biblical understanding, this book warns Christians about dangers that could potentially lead a believer to become an unbeliever (falling away from faith) and share in the unbeliever's eternal condemnation.

Goodreads review by Jacob on March 20, 2024

This is a much needed and meaningful contribution towards developing a better understanding of Participatio Christi in the Johnnanine tradition. Scholarship has focused on the theme of participation in the Pauline corpus in such a way that has left the Johnnanine tradition in the backdrop. Bowsher h......more

Goodreads review by Eric on June 19, 2023

3.5 stars. In recent years, the retrieval and recovery of the doctrine of union with Christ as the architectonic piece of soteriology has gained traction, specifically in Pauline theology and especially within Reformed scholarship but also outside of it. Dr Bowsher does the church an excellent servi......more
