These 'four spiritual doors' are then related to conversion and regeneration. The second section provides an exegetical study of two dozen crucial or controversial passages, questioning many traditional interpretations. The final section on pastoral application demonstrates the inadequacy of much modern evangelistic counseling.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">John David Pawson</note> <subject> <topic>Salvation</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">261.8358</classification> <classification authority="ddc">J65-P34</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0340489723</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/3/25/images.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/3/25/images.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070552.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
