The Doctrine of Justification

From the Author's Introduction



'It may be thought by some that the subject of justification is
trite and exhausted; that, as one of the 'commonplaces' of
theology, it was conclusively determined and settled at the era of the
Reformation; and that nothing new or interesting can now be introduced into
the discussion of it.



But ... may it not be said that, to a large class of minds in the
present age, nothing could well be more new than the old theology of the
Reformation? The gospel is older than Luther; but to every succeeding
generation it is still new-good news from God-as fresh now as
when it first sprung from the fountain of Inspiration.



... The doctrine of justification, by grace, through faith in
Christ, is the old doctrine of the Reformation, and the still older doctrine of
the gospel; yet the vivid apprehension of its meaning and the cordial reception
of its truth must be a new thing in the experience of everyone when he is first
enabled to realize and to believe it.'
