The Doctrine on Which the Church Stands or Falls: Justification in Biblical, Theological, Historical, and Pastoral Perspective (Foreword by D. A. Cars

By Matthew Barrett

Many factors contributed to the Protestant Reformation, but one of the most significant was the debate over the doctrine of justification by faith alone. In fact, Martin Luther argued that justification is the doctrine on which the church stands or falls.

Traces the understanding of the doctrine of justification throughout church history Analyzes the doctrine of justification in light of key sections of the Bible Connects justification with other crucial doctrines of the Christian faith Includes contributions from 24 scholars and historians, including Stephen Wellum, Brian Vickers, Andy Naselli, Sam Storms, David VanDrunen, Gerald Bray, and Stephen Dempster
