<p>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.

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.</p>
