Examines current and traditional treatments of faith, works and justification

Martin Luther invented the Reformation slogan sola fide - 'by faith alone' - which Philip Melanchthon and John Calvin brandished and defended. Most Protestants since their time have swallowed it whole. But is evangelical obedience - the good works that follow faith and are produced by grace - excluded from the basis for justification, or otherwise?



The Way of Salvation examines current and traditional treatments of faith, works and justification, marshals a biblical case majoring on the New Testament teaching of Paul and James and offers a series of systematic, historical and pastoral reflections.
