As secular society bullies the church into air-brushing out the harder elements of the gospel, evangelicals will find themselves tempted to downplay the central importance of penal substitution. If we do, we will lose the authentic, historic gospel for at least a generation. This brilliant book is a timely gift to God’s people (not least to students) to help us hold firm. Pierced for our Transgressions is set to become one of the most important books for evangelicalism at this critical moment of time.
