Augustine''s Theology of Justification By Faith

Other than Paul, no writer has had greater influence on the theology of justification than Augustine. This study fills an astonishing lacuna in scholarship, offering the first comprehensive study of Augustine's theology of justification. It provides a developmental reading of Augustine, focusing on faith, sacraments, ecumenism, and exegesis.
