The Journal of the Grace Evangelical Society, published semi-annually, contains scholarly articles regarding the gospel and assurance.

The Journal of the Grace Evangelical Society contains more in-depth articles, as well as book reviews. It is must reading for those who wish to stay abreast of current studies regarding the Gospel and assurance. There is no other journal like it. It alone deals exclusively with Gospel issues—and always from a grace perspective.
