Who did MacArthur quote in his book on Grace?
In his chapter on grace, MacArthur quotes Dietrich Bonhoeffer ’s "diatribe" (MacArthur’s word) against cheap grace in which he attacks intellectual assent. Bonhoeffer was no fundamentalist; in fact he was quite liberal.
What are some examples of MacArthur's work?

I consider myself a traditional premillennial dispensationalist" (25).

The earthly reign of Christ was postponed until a time yet future...."(118).
