“This is certainly the most solid defense of the imputed righteousness of Christ since the work of John Murray fifty years ago. I'm delighted that Dr. Piper has established that important doctrine, not as a mere article from the confessional tradition, but on the solid foundation of God's Word.” - John M. Frame, Professor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy Reformed Theological Seminary

Faculty Recommendation: “Largely a result of the emergence in recent decades of the "new perspective" on Paul is the growing denial today that the apostle teaches the imputation of Christ's righteous- ness to believers. Counted Righteous in Christ is such an important book because it con- fronts this denial head-on and counters the charge that the heart of the Reformation doctrine of justification rests on a misunderstanding of Scripture. Written in the author's typically spirited and winsome fashion, it provides what is most urgently needed in the face of this charge: a clear and convincing exegetical case for the gospel truth affirmed in its title. The broader church is deeply indebted to John Piper for what it has been given to him to produce in the midst of the already overly full demands of a busy pastorate.” - Richard B. Gaffin, Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary
