In Chapter 7, Leithart (1) enters the pistis Christou debate on the side of subjective genitive, (2) enters the penal substitutionary debate on the affirmative side, and then (3) skillfully and imo convincingly brings the two together.
Jesus, the faithful High King (David’s greater Son) is the penal substitution for Israel, taking the wrath she deserves as her one-flesh Husband. His faithfulness unto death saves us.

Chapter 8: Justified by the Faith of Jesus
"Justification" is a Pauline term to describe the atonement itself, not merely to describe the application of the fruit of the atonement to an individual person. The first recipient of justification was Jesus by His resurrection (His resurrection was His justification), and then the world is justified through Him.

Through the resurrection of His Son, God has pronounced a delivering verdict over all humanity, "The elementary requirements are gone! Death's reign is being brought to an end!", but this is realized in communities, families, and individuals only by being united to Christ in baptism ("the washing of regeneration" Titus 3:5) and faith(fulness).
In now perfected flesh, the Son then ascends to the right hand of the Father and is granted the gift of the Holy Spirit beyond measure which He then pours out upon His disciples at Pentecost, unleashing the Regeneration on the earth.
