Writing from the perspective that the coming of God’s kingdom is both present and future, Hoekema covers the full range of eschatological topics in this comprehensive biblical exposition.

Saved by Grace

• Author: Anthony A. Hoekema
• Publisher: Eerdmans
• Publication Date: 1994
• Pages: 291

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

A comprehensive, dynamic, and eminently practical presentation of the biblical teaching on salvation. In discussing the facets of the working out of salvation—the role of the Spirit, union with Christ, the gospel call, regeneration, conversion, repentance, and so on—Hoekema does away with the classical ordo salutis (“order of salvation”) by viewing these facets largely as simultaneous aspects in the process of salvation rather than sequential steps on the way to salvation.

In a day when thoroughgoing study of the doctrine of salvation has been jettisoned as impractical and irrelevant by the church at large, Saved by Grace serves an essential purpose. . . . If you want your mind challenged by the lucid exposition of Scripture in relationship to the technicalities of God’s saving work, if you want your passion rekindled regarding the manifold grace of God in the salvation of sinners, this book is for you. Buy it. Absorb it. Make its contents the preeminent message of your ministry.

—Reformation and Revival

The Christian Looks at Himself

• Author: Anthony A. Hoekema
• Publisher: Eerdmans
• Publication Date: 1975
• Pages: 156

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

The Christian Looks at Himself addresses the self-worth and self-image of Christians. Anthony Hoekema constructs a biblical vision of personal identity for Christians, saved by grace. We are new creations, not sinless or perfect, but loved by God nonetheless. Hoekema teaches Christians to see themselves in the same positive light that God sees us, and offers strategies for preachers and teachers to build up this essential self-image in Christian community.

Created in God’s Image

• Author: Anthony A. Hoekema
• Publisher: Eerdmans
• Publication Date: 1994
• Pages: 278

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

According to Scripture, humankind was created in the image of God. Hoekema discusses the implications of this theme, devoting several chapters to the biblical teaching on God’s image, the teaching of philosophers and theologians through the ages, and his own theological analysis. This text is suitable for seminary-level anthropology courses, yet accessible to educated laypeople. It includes an extensive bibliography, and is fully indexed.

In this enlightening and scholarly work, Hoekema reappraises anthropology in the light of Scripture and Christian tradition. His contention is that the image of God in humanity is not lost through sin but instead is perverted. . . . This book can be recommended as an important and timely contribution to theological anthropology. It is both historically informative and biblically based.
