Although, MacArthur is more covenantal than most would like to admit. Yeah, he has his dispy roots, but between Lordship salvation, 5-point Calvinism, and then some, his teachings transcend those of even progressive dispinsationalism. I first heard of Watson's A Body of Divinity while listening to one of his sermons, when he recommended it.
