Justification : the heart of the Christian faith : a theological study with an ecumenical purpose Upplaga 3

In this new book, Jngel explores and evaluates the role of justification in Christianity, and emphasises its centrality to Christian faith.Starting with the writings of Plato and Aristotle, Professor Jngel discusses the concepts of justice and righteousness. He considers the writings of leading Catholic and Protestant thinkers, examining in particular the work of Karl Barth. He argues that the doctrine of justification is a vital hermeneutical category.This is a provocative and ground-breaking contribution to theological discussions of sin and grace, by one of the world's leading contemporary theologians.
