Get The L Out Of The Church: Exposing Wayne Grudem's Unbiblical Arguments for the Reformed (Calvinist) Doctrine of Limited Atonement in his Systematic Theology
Is Limited Atonement biblical—or a theological sleight of hand?
In this incisive critique of Wayne Grudem’s defense of Limited Atonement, Joseph Charles Goodman dismantles one of Calvinism’s most controversial doctrines. With clarity and conviction, he exposes the rhetorical tactics, logical fallacies, and strained interpretations used to uphold the fallacy that Christ’s sacrifice was limited to a pre-selected few.
But this book is more than a theological rebuttal—it offers a much-needed model of critical thinking for today’s information-saturated church, showing readers how to examine cleverly constructed theological writing and trust the clarity of Scripture.
And yes, there’s humor. Because when a top theologian tries to prove that Christ died for “some” using verses that say “all,” a little satire is not only warranted—it’s therapeutic. Goodman doesn’t just critique Grudem’s logic; he pokes at the scaffolding with a grin, inviting readers to laugh, think, and return to Scripture with fresh eyes.

My biased opinion: Absolutely devastating to Wayne Grudem’s arguments for Limited Atonement.
