Recensione

'No seminary, divinity school or graduate research library should be without this contribution to scholarly interpretation of the historical and theological aspects of the doctrine of justification. The first major study since Albrecht Ritschl's Die christliche Lehre von der Rechtfertigung und Versohnung (Bonn, 1870), this work is impressive in its comprehensiveness and quality. Not only does it span twenty centuries, it also covers many lesser-known figures alongside the acknowledged 'greats' of Christian thought. Its analyses are consistently precise, carefully attentive to detail and nuance, and its conclusions both circumspect and challenging.' Religious Studies

'No major work on the subject has appeared for over a century ... McGrath reviews and revises, overhauls and extends all previous studies ... A first class, scholarly, authoritative, balanced, informed study ... unique value as an historical and theological analysis.' Scottish Journal of Theology

'An admirable work ... an invaluable source and should be recognised as a standard work on the subject.' Heythrop Journal

'An impressive study ... it will undoubtedly be consulted by students of the doctrine of justification for a long time to come.' Journal of Theological Studies

'Indispensable' Epworth Review 'A valuable and important study' Theology 'A more than ordinarily useful scholarly tool ... With an admirable economy of expression that brooks no loss of clarity, McGrath provides skilful introductions to notoriously difficult and controverted positions, both historical and theological ... A book the clarity and conciseness and utility of whose expositions cannot be conveyed in a review.' Guy Mansini, Theological Studies 'This is an impressive study. It is both a valuable reminder of an important branch of the common stream of Christianity, and an invitation to further evaluation and fresh development.' George Newlands, Journal of Theological Studies
