Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ' (Romans 5:1). When Paul wrote these words he seemed confident he made himself clear. But for centuries the Pauline doctrine of justification has been a classic point of debate in Christian exegesis and theology. Following a helpful introduction by the editors, this distinguished forum of biblical interpreters and theologians offer a lively and informative engagement with the biblical, historical and contemporary understanding of justification. The result is not only a fascinating probe into Paul's meaning but also a case book in theological method.

N. T. Wright offers a comprehensive account and defense of his perspective on the crucial doctrine of justification. Along the way Wright responds to critics, such as John Piper, who have challenged what has come to be called the New Perspective. Ultimately, he provides a chance for those in the middle of and on both sides of the debate to interact directly with his views and form their own conclusions.

Much has been written of late about what the apostle Paul really meant when he spoke of justification by faith, not the works of the law. This short study by Stephen Westerholm carefully examines proposals on the subject by Krister Stendahl, E. P. Sanders, Heikki Raisanen, N. T. Wright, James D. G. Dunn, and Douglas A. Campbell. In doing so, Westerholm notes weaknesses in traditional understandings that have provoked the more recent proposals, but he also points out areas in which the latter fail to do justice to the apostle. Readers of this book will gain not only a better grasp of the ongoing theological debate about justification but also a more nuanced overall understanding of Paul.

"Writing from the perspective of his much admired scholarship, yet with a fluency and accessibility that few can match, Tom Wright argues that to understand 'justification' from Paul's point of view, it is necessary to see it in terms of four elements: the cosmic law court; the forward-moving purpose of God ('eschatology') ; the fact of God's achievement in Jesus Christ and our participation in him; and ultimately the single divine plan, through Israel, for the whole world ('covenant'). Above all, we will only see what 'justification' is about when we recognize that we are part of a larger purpose. God is rescuing us from the shipwreck of the world, not so that we can sit back and put our feet up in his company, but so that we can be part of his plan to rescue and remake the whole of creation." --Book Jacket.

"Living by faith" is much more than a general Christian precept; it is the fundamental posture of believers in a world rife with suffering and injustice. In this penetrating reflection on the meaning of "justification," Oswald Bayer shows how this key religious term provides a comprehensive horizon for discussing every aspect of Christian theology, from creation to the end times. Inspired by and interacting with Martin Luther, the great Christian thinker who grappled most intensely with the concept of justification, Bayer explores anew the full range of traditional dogmatics (sin, redemption, eschatology, and others), placing otherwise complex theological terms squarely within their proper milieu -- everyday life. In the course of his discussion, Bayer touches on such deep questions as the hidden nature of God, the hope for universal justice, the problem of evil, and -- one of the book's most engaging motifs -- Job's daring lawsuit with God.
