Were the Reformers correct to insist that the good news of God&#8217;s gracious and free acceptance of guilty sinners, on the basis of the obedience and atoning sacrifice of Christ, lies at the heart of the gospel? Or are we to accept the &#8216;new perspectives&#8217; on Paul&#8217;s teaching, which have been advocated in recent years by those who have made a fresh study of the relevant historical sources?<\/p>\n<p>Since the new perspectives challenge some of the basic features of the traditional Protestant understanding of justification, they require careful study and thoughtful evaluation. Nothing less than the shape of the evangelical church&#8217;s\u00a0proclamation\u00a0of the gospel today is at stake.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"toctoggle\">Table of Contents <a class=\"button\" href=\"#toc\">Expand \u2193<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"toc\" class=\"table-of-contents\">\n<table width=\"348\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td width=\"293\">Preface<\/td>\n<td>vii<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a01.<\/td>\n<td width=\"293\">Introduction<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a02.<\/td>\n<td width=\"293\">THE REFORMATION PERSPECTIVE ON PAUL<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td width=\"293\">\u2018Justification\u2019: A Judicial Declaration of Acceptance with God<\/td>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td width=\"293\">\u2018By Grace Alone\u2019: The Basis for Free Justification<\/td>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td width=\"293\">\u2018Through Faith Alone\u2019: The Instrument of Justification<\/td>\n<td>16<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td width=\"293\">Key Features of the Reformation Perspective<\/td>\n<td>19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a03.<\/td>\n<td width=\"293\">A \u2018NEW PERSPECTIVE\u2019 ON PAUL<\/td>\n<td>23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td width=\"293\">A New View of Second-Temple Judaism: E.
