This book recently released:
Wayne Grudem. “Free Grace” Theology: 5 Ways It Diminishes the Gospel. Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2016. 159 pp.
This 42-page PDF excerpt includes the endorsements (by Darrell Bock, Ligon Duncan, Kent Hughes, John MacArthur, J. I. Packer, Tom Schreiner, Sam Storms, Dan Wallace, and Bruce Ware), a detailed outline of the book, the introduction, and chapter 1.

That’s the title of a short article I wrote on Romans 8:31–39 for The Gospel Coalition.
I briefly unpack this phrase diagram:

(See my DG article “Three Tips for Better Bible Reading” and my follow-up post that supplements it.)
