Justification by Faith Alone : Selected writings from Theodore Beza (1519 - 1605), Amandaus Polanus (1561 - 1610), and Francis Turretin (1623 - 1687) : Volume 6
Outline : Composed under different circumstances by giants of the Reformed tradition - Theodore Beza (1519 - 1605), Amandus Polanus (1561 - 1610), and Francis Turretin (1623 - 1687) - these texts represent three classical treatments of the same doctrine, each in its own genre. Beza's Defense of Justification by Faith Alone is polemical and in response to ecclesiastical controversy. Polanus's Free Justification of Man the Sinner before God is systematic and the fruit of logical argumentation based on Scripture. Turretin's Harmony of Paul and James on the Article of Justification is exegetical and in the form of an academic disputation. Each text explores aspects of justification from a different angle. Together, they touch on a host of important theological concerns: the nature of faith, good works, sanctification, union with Christ, the Holy Spirit, hermeneutics, the unity of Scripture, and more. Thanks to the translation efforts of Casey Michael, these three important pieces are made accessible to English readers for the first time. Readers will also benefit form Zachary Purvis's introductory essay, which places each of the writings within its historical context. Here is a fine contribution for understanding the classical Protestant insistence on justification by faith alone.
Justification by Faith Alone is the sixth volume of the Classic Reformed Theology series, edited by Dr. R. Scott Clark. This series seeks to produce and provide critical English translations of some of the more important but generally neglected texts of the orthodox period.
