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.
