“John Fesko has given the church a thorough and welcome treatment of the doctrine of justification. It is reliable, Reformed, and relevant. Now I know where to direct students, ministers, and interested congregants for a ‘one stop’ overview of justification by faith alone.”
—Guy Prentiss Waters
“Well informed, careful, and full of insight, this book is destined to become a standard work for all who want a deeper understanding of this crucial doctrine. In addition to providing sound exegesis of relevant passages, Fesko is sensitive to important nuances in historical theology and contemporary discussions.”
—Michael S. Horton
“John Fesko has an uncanny ability to tackle difficult subjects and make them clear to a wide audience, and this book does just that. So many important and timely topics are covered: the covenant of works, union with Christ, the New Perspective on Paul, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Roman Catholicism. I heartily recommend this work.”
