The purpose of this book is to show that the development of the Reformation doctrine of justification as a legal imputation of righteousness was a fundamental shift from the Catholic view of justification.

Iustitia Dei

It also shows the separation of sanctification from justification resulted in a paradigm shift in the Church. McGrath begins with the assertion that medieval theology was thoroughly Augustinian, and the primary aim of medieval This book is a history of the Christian doctrine of justification. McGrath begins with the assertion that medieval theology was thoroughly Augustinian, and the primary aim of medieval theology was to expand and refine his theologies. Justification is God restoring the relationship between man and God as it was pre-Fall, not in the category of legal or forensic categories.

McGrath went on to describe the development of the doctrine of justification in the medieval period. He first described the nature of justification in medieval theology and the righteousness of God. Here his primary argument is that justification includes the Protestant categories of justification, sanctification, and regeneration. McGrath maintains that the inclusion of regeneration with justification precludes a Protestant understanding of justification from the outset. McGrath goes on to detail how medieval scholars viewed the righteousness of God, and included Aristotelian ideas in their theology.

One fundamental point which McGrath includes is the medieval discussion of will, both the free will of man and the sovereign will of God. Augustine held that this could only be the case if God were voluntarily allowing himself to be placed under requirement because of a pact he freely made with mankind. Medieval theologians continued on this path by viewing God as being completely free and completely reliable. The final topic which I will it is important to view is the medieval conception of the relationship between justification and predestination.

Logically following Augustine, some argued that his view of predestination entails double predestination. Catholic understanding of this topic was all over the map in the medieval period. For example, Scotus believed that the Fall and the Cross are essentially independent of one another because Christ was predestined first. McGrath does a good job overall of defending his thesis, namely that the Protestant view of justification was a fundamental paradigm shift from all previous thought.

He does this by methodically developing the thoughts of the great theologians prior to Luther, and showing how their views of justification include the idea of sanctification. McGrath also does not do as good of a job of proving his second thesis, namely that Catholic beliefs on justification were disunited. He succeeds in the discussion of predestination, but in general there was a Catholic consensus in the means, manner, and result of justification and the role of the Sacraments in that justification.

My only complaint with this book was its inclusion of block quotes in Latin, which made it very hard to read! Aug 01, Jacob McGill rated it it was ok. He has an important discussion the righteousness of God in the opening chapter, but there is not much after this. I would wait to read this after you have learned Latin, there are many places you will get lost without it at least I was.

This book falls trap to much of what I despise in historical theology: I feel that historical theology should be more of interacting with texts and showing what they believed and why; a broad sw Highly disappointing! I feel that historical theology should be more of interacting with texts and showing what they believed and why; a broad sweep of what they believe will soon be forgotten and cannot be validated as the correct interpretation. I feel that sometimes we forget that historical theology is not a matter of restating what those who have gone before us said, but a work of interpretation.

I did get a different sense of what the Roman church believed during the Reformation, and feel that there is some more work to be done there. I only got about half way through and had to stop. Really good book, but incredibly dense. Unfortunately I don't speak Latin and so it was just too far over my head, as Latin sentences are frequently included and they are completely untranslated. This would be much more readable, and many more laymen like myself would get so much out of it if the Latin was translated.

Furthermore the Kindle edition didn't include the section on the new perspective on Paul, which is part of the reason I wanted to I only got about half way through and had to stop.

So I was fairly disappointed about that. Mar 28, Joseph Richardson rated it it was amazing. An excellent history of the doctrine of justification, from St. Augustine, who first developed it in the west, to the theologians of the twentieth century.
