A MUST HAVE-SERIOUS THEOLOGY

I am currently reading Justification in Perspective (a Baker 2006 ETS special ISBN0-8010-3131-1). It has been really informative and well written thus far. The book contributes theological insights to the doctrine of justification that are truly important, centered and worthy of MUCH thought. Some notable authors include, Nick Needham, David Wright, Bruce McCormack, Henri Blocher, Somon Gathercole and of course last but not least, N.T. Wright. I think that he has the "closer" in the book for the sake of attempting perhaps to unsettle the book.

Westminster Theological Seminary Review: Justification in Perspective is an excellent example of this latter sort of constructive theological dialogue. Each contributor comes from one of Reformed Protestantism's many strands and examines justification within a particular period or theologian from the early church and Augustine through the Reformers to modern developments in Barth and the New Perspective.
Seriously, the book is great, a MUST HAVE for my humble opinion with regards to the "issues" of justification.
