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 ("e;order of salvation"e;) by viewing these facets largely as simultaneous aspects in the process of salvation rather than sequential steps on the way to salvation.
