Jesus' Blood and Righteousness
Brian VickersPaperback 2006-10-26
Do Paul's letters teach that the righteousness of Christ is directly credited to the believer? New Testament professor Brian Vickers shows that the doctrine of imputed righteousness is not of merely academic interest, but goes to the very heart of what it means to be made right with God. 192 pages, from Good News.
Publisher Description
The question of whether Paul teaches that Christ's righteousness is imputed to the believer has been debated for roughly four hundred years. Some of the questions that arise are: What is the connection between Adam and the rest of the human race? How did Christ fulfill the role of the second or new Adam? How can the "ungodly" stand before a righteous God? ?In Jesus' Blood and Righteousness, Brian Vickers investigates the key Pauline texts linked historically to the topic of imputation. Though Vickers spends a good deal of time on the particulars of each text, he keeps one eye on the broader biblical horizon; like any doctrine, imputation must be investigated exegetically and synthetically. This book, and its conclusion that the imputation of Christ's righteousness is a legitimate and necessary synthesis of Paul's teaching, is a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on imputation.
