I'm looking for a comprehensive introduction to salvation from a Reformed perspective. Something that explains the context of salvation (sin, grace, cross, etc.) and the different objective and subjective actions and processes involved. It doesn't have to be super long, in fact, I'd rather it not be. I'm not looking for polemical defenses of the 5 points.
To give examples, I've found a few books close to what I'm looking for. Redemption Accomplished and Applied by John Murray is a good book, but it only explains the ordo salutis and is a bit on the dry side. The Cross and Salvation by Bruce Demarest is a magnificent volume, but a bit heavy on the historical overviews and not fully Reformed. Complete in Him by Michael Barrett is just about exactly right, but for some reason it seems difficult to get a hold of a copy (out of print?).
