Publisher's Description
Martin Luther invented the Reformation slogan sola fide--by faith alone--which Philipp Melanchthon and John Calvin brandished and defended. Most Protestants since their time have swallowed it whole. But is evangelical obedience--the good works that follow faith and are produced by grace--excluded from the basis for justification or otherwise? Asserting that "there is no more serious question bearing upon the destiny of human beings than how sinners can be justified before a Holy God," Paul Rainbow examines current and traditional treatments of faith, works, and justification, marshals a biblical case majoring on the New Testament teaching of Paul and James, and offers a series of systematic, historical, and pastoral reflections.
Endorsements (2)
“A fresh and stimulating approach which must be taken seriously by theologians on both sides of this classic debate.”
“A remarkable book indeed! A long overdue, yet comprehensive recognition of Paul's teaching about the obedience of faith and the relation of good deeds to the full justification of the Christian who is saved. I recommend it highly to all who are interested in Pauline theology.”
