Transforming Views on Righteousness

This chapter examines the theological journey of a historical figure grappling with the nature of God's righteousness and justice. It contrasts Calvinist and Wesleyan Arminian perspectives on salvation, highlighting Martin Luther's understanding of justification as a gift of faith rather than human effort. Additionally, it explores the significance of the doctrine of justification in early reformers' teachings, particularly in relation to the controversial stance of the book of James.
