Faith Alone examines the doctrine of justification as the Reformers recovered it and as Scripture teaches it. Thomas R. Schreiner traces the historical development of the doctrine, works through the biblical material in Paul and James, and then engages the contemporary challenges: the New Perspective on Paul, recent Roman Catholic formulations, and arguments that justification has been overemphasized in Protestant theology.

Part of Zondervan's Five Solas series marking the Reformation's legacy, this volume suits pastors, students and readers who hold the doctrine but have not seen it defended against current objections. Schreiner writes as a careful exegete rather than a polemicist, and he takes the strongest form of each opposing argument before answering it.
