The core of the book is an historical survey of thedoctrine of justification as it has developed within the Western church–somewhat simplified version of McGrath’s JustitiaDei, but with a more outspoken assessment of the various moves that are takenat various stages in the discussion.Attention will is paid to the context or prevailing world view in whichsuch a doctrine is deemed significant. Although the focus is on a number of principal theologians there are some reference to their peers or followers. Only at theend the Pauline texts are examined. Theconclusion considers what part a doctrine of justification can have withina modern worldview in which the concept of divine judgement has generally beenmarginalised.
