An anthology published by Crossway (dated 2007 in Crossway's bibliography of Packer, 2008 in library records) that combines three classic pieces by Packer with a recent article by Mark Dever. Packer's are "The Heart of the Gospel", his Tyndale Biblical Theology Lecture What Did the Cross Achieve?, and his introductory essay to John Owen's The Death of Death in the Death of Christ; Dever's is "Nothing but the Blood". The volume has a foreword by the four principals of Together for the Gospel: Dever, Ligon Duncan, C. J. Mahaney and Albert Mohler. It was published to reaffirm substitutionary atonement at a time when the doctrine was under attack.
