4.5 Stars

A gem of a collection of essays on justification.

Two contributions in particular stand out:
1. Justification in the Early Church Fathers - Nick Needham
2. The Doctrine of Justification in Paul and Beyond - Simon Gathercole

[Maxime N. Georgel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dans cet ouvrage collectif, je n'ai lu que les 2 chapitres traitant des pères de l'Église et de la justification, à savoir celui que Needham sur les pères des 4 premiers siècles et celui de David Wright sur Augustin et la justification.

Le premier est vraiment excellent, et ne passe pas sous silence les difficultés comme j'ai pu le voir de manière malheureuse chez d'autres (Faber, en particulier). Le deuxième me laisse sur ma faim, même si sa conclusion part à mon avis dans la bonne piste. Dongsun Cho semble sur une piste plus intéressante en étudiant, dans un même article, Augustin et Bucer côte à côte.

Excellent discussions on "the main hinge on which religion turns." My favorite chapters are the historical survey, the one on the ordo salutis, Dr. Gathercole's, and Dr. Wright's (although I strongly disagree with him). It was good to hear Dr. Wright's novel view, too.

This is one of the best books on the current debates over the doctrine of justification that I have read. McCormack does a masterful job bringing all the key players to the table for a discussion.
