Justification in the Second Century

How did the doctrine of justification fare one hundred years after Paul's death (c. AD 165)? This book argues that Paul's view of justification by faith is present in the second century, a thesis that particularly challenges T. F. Torrance's long-held notion that the Apostolic Fathers abandoned this doctrine. This is the first major study on the doctrine of justification in the second century, thus filling a major lacuna in scholarship.
