What the Reformers Taught... and Why It Still Matters

2015 • 288 pages

Renowned biblical scholar Thomas Schreiner looks at the historical and biblical roots of the doctrine of justification and offers an updated defense of this pillar of Reformed theology.

Reinvigorating one of the five great declarations of the Reformation—sola fide—Schreiner:

Summarizes the history of the doctrine, looking at the early church and the writings of several of the Reformers.
Walks readers through an examination of the key biblical texts in the Old and New Testament that support the Reformed understanding of justification.
Discusses whether justification is transformative or forensic and introduces readers to some of the contemporary challenges to the Reformation teaching of sola fide, with particular attention to the new perspective on Paul.
Five hundred years after the Reformation, the doctrine of justification by faith alone still needs to be understood and proclaimed. In Faith Alone you will learn how the rallying cry of “sola fide” is rooted in the Scriptures and how to understand this doctrine in a fresh way.
