Publisher's Description
The doctrine of justification as an alien, imputed righteousness has been under attack for several years. This biblical theology of justification traces how the doctrine unfolds in Scripture and how, in Christ, God provides everything needed for sinners to be made right with him. Whether we are struggling with legalism, lawlessness, pride, or despair, a biblical view of justification will lead us away from ourselves to the God who accepts us fully in Christ.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“For nearly half a century now the historic and biblical doctrine of justification has been hotly debated. Brian Vickers lays hold of the wealth of wisdom produced by this debate, .... It is hard to imagine a more wide-ranging, sure-footed, and user-friendly study upholding the doctrine by which, indeed, the true church stands or falls.”
Robert W. Yarbrough
Covenant Theological Seminary
“Written discussions of justification are often topical or historical in bent, and understandably so. Brian Vickers has produced a concise and Reformed survey of justification that is exegetical and biblical-theological in focus. Taking us from Genesis to the New Testament—and never losing us along the way—he admirably shows the flowering and unfolding of the doctrine of justification in Scripture. Vickers's scholarship makes this informed study an important contribution to the literature. Well-organized and accessibly written chapters and study questions, as well as a pastors heart, make it a delight to read. I heartily commend it.”
Guy Prentiss Waters
Reformed Theological Seminary
“Vickerss new work is to be warmly welcomed. Here we find a clear and accessible and, most importantly, biblical restatement of what the Scriptures teach about justification.”
Thomas R. Schreiner

“This book is a positive, clear, constructive treatment of the biblical doctrine of justification by faith....”
Tom J. Nettles
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“Brian Vicker's Justification is a delightful read with its pastoral warmth and engaging style. Too easily and too often this crucial doctrine becomes merely an abstract, academic debate. Vickers, while aware of the debates, constantly roots the discussion in the impact and benefit this teaching should have for life according to the Scriptures. Vicker's years of teaching this material in seminary and missions settings are apparent as he explains carefully and well, writing in a way that flows easily. I warmly commend it to all.”
Ray Van Neste
Union University
“Brian Vickers is both a brilliant scholar and a faithful teacher. I his new book, Justification by Grace through Faith, he offers both theological edification and spiritual encouragement. Those who love the gospel will welcome this new book.”
R. Albert Mohler Jr.
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“Vickers has done the church a service, not by laboring through the recent challenges for a negative result, but by offering a positive, fresh exposition from the Scriptures. With breathtaking scope he traces Christs imputed righteousness from the pages of Genesis all the way to Paul and James.”
A. Andrew Das
Elmhurst College
“In creative ways Vickers juxtaposes Adam, Abraham, Israel, and the Mosaic law respectively with their supreme and crowing counterpart—Jesus, the obedient second Adam, the fulfillment of the promise to Abraham, and the atonement as the goal of the Mosaic law.”
