Grace and Law in Galatians: Justification in Luther and Calvin by Dennis Ngien P

Description: Grace and Law in Galatians by Dennis Ngien, Michael Parsons The author does not aim to defend Luthers and Calvins reading of Galatians against modern biblical scholarship but to read and hear them in their own contexts. He grapples with major theological themes underlying their approach: law and gospel, active and passive righteousness, faith alone yet not alone, attribution of contraries between Christ and the justified saints, human love and Gods love, Christ as gift and example, the creative power of Gods word, union with Christ, the economic action of the Son, the role of Holy Spirit in the justified life, faith in Christ and the faith of Christ, the uses of the law, true identity as Gods gift, flesh and Spirit, and radical discontinuity of the old existence and the re-creation of the new. Readers will learn from the Reformers how they apply a text or theological theme homiletically in a pastoral context and appreciate how their understanding of the gospel can spiritually nurture the life of faith. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Dennis Ngien is research professor of theology at Tyndale University. Formerly the Alister E. McGrath Chair of Christian Thought and Spirituality, he is the author of several books including Fruit for the Soul (2015) and Luthers Theology of the Cross (Cascade, 2018). Review "Understanding the theology of the reformers means understanding how they have read the Bible. Dennis Ngiens erudite study on Luthers and Calvins interpretation of the Letter to the Galatians provides us with a thoroughly thoughtful and well-written exploration of how both reformers lifted the treasuries of Pauls writing on the cross and on justification. Seeing both theologians focusing on a theology pro nobis, Ngien shows their message for todays church and theology." --Volker Leppin, Yale Divinity School "Grace and Law in Galatians does something original and significant. It is not primarily a study of how Luther and Calvin handled exegetical issues in the text, nor is it primarily a study of how Galatians shaped particular themes in their theology. Rather, it shows us how Pauls letter was an indispensable basis for their understanding and application of the gospel itself. Ngien offers an important resource to all those attempting to understand and apply the gospel." --Stephen J. Chester, Wycliffe College "Dennis Ngien has once again written a fantastic book. Brimming with original insights into Luthers and Calvins engagement with Galatians, the reader is blessed with a sense of how the gospel enables us to live in Christ and in the neighbor. Ngiens scholarship is outstanding, his prose inviting, and most importantly, his love of the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom he writes, overflowing. We are in his debts for providing us with such a book." --Christopher R. J. Holmes, University of Otago "While engaging numerous contemporary scholars of Luther and Calvin, the great value of Dennis Ngiens work is he lets both Reformers speak for themselves. Those who seek better to understand the Reformers on the doctrine of justification, the distinction of law and gospel, the nature of the sanctified life, and the assurance of salvation, will find Ngien an illuminating and accessible guide." --John T. Pless, Concordia Theological Seminary "The history of Lutheran-Reformed polemics has tended to occlude the substantial theological agreement between their founders. Ngiens fresh reading of Luther and Calvin on Pauls Letter to the Galatians is sympathetic, contextual, and pastoral as he explores the Reformers respective theological nuances on a variety of important themes. Masterfully weaving together primary and secondary sources, Ngiens book is immensely readable, academically-sound, non-combative, and essential reading for all who take the Christian life seriously." --Dennis Bielfeldt, president, Institute of Lutheran Theology Details ISBN1666718408 Author Michael Parsons Pages 196 Publisher Cascade Books Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781666718409 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-01-19 Imprint Cascade Books Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2023-01-19 NZ Release Date 2023-01-19 US Release Date 2023-01-19 UK Release Date 2023-01-19 Subtitle Justification in Luther and Calvin DEWEY 227.406 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
