This chapter explores the theological transformation of a key Lutheran figure's understanding of God's righteousness, shifting from a view of God as a stern judge to recognizing righteousness as a divine gift through faith. It distinguishes between law and gospel, emphasizing the necessity of confession and the embrace of God's grace in the Christian life, while introducing the concepts of coram Deo and coram mundo righteousness.
