An introductory essay to IVP’s latest debate-book elaborates on five exegetical flash points in the justification debate:
- Paul’s attitude toward Judaism
- The role of works in final justification/judgment
- Justification/righteousness in the Old Testament
- Justifying righteousness: imputation, transformation or incorporation?
- The meaning of pistis

Here are the book’s five views:
