Therefore, any genuine gospel proclamation must include an invitation to make a conscious decision to forsake one’s sins and come to Christ in faith, asking Christ for forgiveness of sins. If either the need to repent of sins or the need to trust in Christ for forgiveness is neglected, there is not a full and true proclamation of the gospel.

Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem als Verfasser eines weltweit genutzten, praxisorientierten Lehrbuchs der systematischen Theologie sowie als Herausgeber der ESV Study Bible.
