Not since the sixteenth century has the doctrine of justification stood so clearly at the center of theological debate as it has in the last thirty years. This often polemical dialogue has been fueled particularly by discussions on the 'New Perspective on Paul.' This important collection draws together diverse voices, committed to an irenic engagement, to explore the historical development and contemporary understandings of the Protestant doctrine of justification. Justification in Perspective assesses major contributions of the Christian tradition to the subject. This volume constitutes a progress report on the state of the Protestant doctrine of justification in the midst of challenge and change and serves as a way station to greater understanding and resolution. Contributors include Mark Bonnington, Nick Needham, David F. Wright, Carl Trueman, Karla W|bbenhorst, Anthony N. S. Lane, A. T. B. McGowan, Bruce L. McCormack, Henri A. Blocher, Simon Gathercole, and N. T. Wright. Bruce L. McCormack (Ph.D., Princeton Theological Seminary; Dr. theol. h.c., Friedrich Schiller University) is the Frederick and Margaret L. Weyerhaeuser Professor of Systematic Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary. A world-renowned Barth scholar, he is a frequent writer and lecturer on topics of Reformed theology.
