Description: This book dives into the heart of one of the most enduring theological debates in history: the nature of justification. The author examines the opposing views held by the Protestant Reformers and the Roman Catholic Church on how individuals are made righteous in the eyes of God. The book explores the core arguments of the Reformation, highlighting the Reformers' fierce conviction that the Catholic Church had distorted the true meaning of justification. The author meticulously dissects the Council of Trent's decrees, which attempted to formalize the Catholic position, and reveals the intricacies of the debate surrounding the role of faith, works, and the imputation of Christ’s righteousness. The author delves into the complex theological concepts of "justification" and "sanctification," examining how these ideas were understood by both sides of the debate. The book further explores the implications of these differing perspectives on the means and results of justification, and how these ideas shaped the development of Christian thought. This comprehensive exploration of a pivotal doctrinal discussion offers readers valuable insights into the historical and theological complexities surrounding the concept of justification, leaving them with a deeper understanding of this fundamental Christian doctrine.
