Justification: The Article by Which the Church Stands or Falls

by Carl E. Braaten

Overview

In Part I, Braaten assesses Luther's view of justification and its subsequent interpretation by orthodoxy, by Calvin, by Ritschl and Harnack, by Tillich, and by Barth. In Part II, the discussion turns to ecumenical dialogues on justification and the relation of the doctrine to evangelization, to the distinction between law and gospel, to pastoral care, and to the church's involvement in secular issues.

Always lucid, often challenging, this book will stimulate thought and discussion beyond confessional lines.
