Title: The Justification Reader By: Edited by Thomas C. Oden Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 163 Vendor: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. Publication Date: 2002 | Dimensions: 9 X 6 (inches) Weight: 9 ounces ISBN: 0802839665 ISBN-13: 9780802839664 Series: Classic Christian Readers Stock No: WW39665 |
Ranging broadly through Christian history and across all branches of the church, Oden cites the writings of such major figures as Athanasius, Basil, Gregory Nazianzus, and John Chrysostom in the East and Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine, and Gregory the Great in the West. Although Oden presents all the relevant historical texts on justification, the book also includes his own insightful explication of the doctrine. His work shows that what these church fathers teach on justification was restated almost verbatim by the sixteenth-century Reformers and can still be confessed in good conscience by Christians from every communion. Thus this volume both provides a compendium of a central belief of the faith and demonstrates its ecumenical potential.
The first volume in a new series, this book will be an important sourcebook for readers from every tradition.
