I finished the first portion of the book, which is the explanation on the doctrine of justification. The second portion of the book is essentially a commentary on Romans and other books, and I plan to read that at a slower pace when I come across those scriptures, or when I have the need to exegetically defend the doctrine of justification.
The book was a pretty easy read, and could be considered dry if one didn't have an interest in the topic at hand. However, it was very well thought-out and cl...more

This book is extremely deep, it is not the type of book you sit down and read for pleasure, the second half of the book deals with a lot of basic greek grammar. That being said, when you do sit down and read it, it will open your eyes to the doctrine of justification in ways you never imagined. I have completly rethought my view on the extremities of what it took for God to justify me, a sinner. It also distinguished the doctrines of justification and sanctification in a much clearer way for me...more
Chapters 1-9 present the Protestant doctrine of Justification through faith alone at a layman level. Chapters 9-20 focus on exegeting key passages. There are a lot of books like this that cover justification in the manner of the first part of the book, but few do the hard work of exegesis that is presented in the latter half.
Great book.

The first book that really exposed me to the doctrine of Justification. Through this book I started seeking understanding about the ideas of Justification, sanctification, and glorification. It's a really hard read on apologetics, and towards the end of the book I had to stop reading because everything was described in Greek!
