The Role of Justification in Contemporary Theology (Lutheran Quarterly Books)

In this significant book Mark C. Mattes critically evaluates the role of justification in the theologies of five leading Protestant thinkers -- Eberhard Jungel Wolfhart Pannenberg Jurgen Moltmann Robert W. Jenson and Oswald Bayer -- pointing out their respective strengths and weaknesses and showing how each matches up with Luthers own views. Offering both an excellent review of recent trends in Christian theology and a powerful analysis of these trends Mattes points readers to the various ways in which the doctrine of justification has been applied today.
