Over decades of faithful ministry, our founder and chancellor, Pastor John MacArthur, authored an extensive body of work.  From biblical exposition to systematic theology to practical Christian living, his books continue to equip and encourage believers around the world. Here is a list of favorites that have shaped our faculty and staff over the years.

 

found-gods-will-coverFound: God's Will

"This short book is based on one of the best sermons John MacArthur ever preached. As this book walks through what God’s Word says is the will of God, it demystifies the process of finding God’s will and debunks this idea that we have to always be in the center of God’s will."  Purchase Now >

mntc-mark-coverMacArthur New Testament Commentary: Gospel of Mark Set

"Quintessential MacArthur is Pastor John in the text of Scripture. His sermon series in Mark was the crescendo of his preaching through the New Testament and it was the culmination of decades of historical and grammatical study, making this the best in the MacArthur New Testament Commentary series." Purchase Now >

gospel-according-to-jesus-cover

The Gospel According to Jesus

"I think this is John MacArthur’s most significant work.  It gets the gospel right and addresses what is arguably the greatest threat to Christianity, if not in the world, then certainly in America." Purchase Now >

—Bryan Murphy, Old Testament

 

the-vanishing-conscience-coverThe Vanishing Conscience

"This book addresses how our culture deals with guilt and clearly explains the biblical view of guilt. The social problems he addresses in this book are worse in today’s culture. Other than The Gospel According to Jesus this book is the first of Dr. MacArthur’s I recommend to people." Purchase Now >

biblical-doctrine-macarthur-cover

Biblical Doctrine

"This systematic theology is one of the most valuable resources in my library. It walks through the major doctrines of the Christian faith with precision and makes the material understandable for pastors, students, and thoughtful laypeople. It is not a dry academic treatment, but a work that consistently calls attention to the greatness and glory of God. It does exactly what John MacArthur did from the pulpit: it faithfully explains the theology of God’s Word, making profound truths understandable and applicable to my life." Purchase Now >

zechariah-cover

Zechariah (MacArthur Old Testament Commentary)

"I love the book of Zechariah because the Lord Jesus Christ is the primary figure in Zechariah’s revelation. Zechariah predicted Christ’s entry into Jerusalem on a donkey, His betrayal for thirty pieces of silver, and His sacrificial death. Zechariah also revealed Christ’s future return to the Mount of Olives and the establishment of His kingdom over all the earth. And one of the clearest explanations of this book is the MacArthur Old Testament Commentary on Zechariah." Purchase Now >
