Faith Alone: The Doctrine of Justification

Synopsis

Thomas Schreiner's Faith Alone is part of Zondervan's 'Five Solas' series, providing a robust biblical and theological defense of justification by faith alone. Schreiner traces the doctrine through Scripture, examines its development in church history (particularly the Reformation), and responds to contemporary critics including the New Perspective on Paul and Roman Catholic objections. The book carefully distinguishes between faith as the instrument of justification and works as its fruit, showing how the Reformation position faithfully represents the biblical witness. Schreiner writes with scholarly precision while remaining accessible to educated laypeople.
