Description : The Reformation swept across Europe with a
God-glorifying gospel of grace. Now the doctrine of grace cherished and
proclaimed by the Reformers is under renewed assault from an unexpected
place—the evangelical church itself.
With the help of several theologians, Gary L. W. Johnson and Guy
P. Waters trace the background and development of two seemingly disparate
movements that have surfaced within the contemporary church—the New
Perspective(s) on Paul and the Federal Vision—and how they corrupt the truth of
salvation by faith alone. By regaining a focus on the doctrine of grace,
pastors, seminarians, and future leaders can regain the cohesion, coherence, and
direction to truly build the church to withstand the attacks of false and empty
doctrines.

“If you have been unsettled or impressed by the arguments of the
New Perspectives or the Federal Vision—this book is for you. By Faith Alone is a
serious and substantial rejoinder to the new viewpoints on justification,
imputation, covenant theology, and more.” J. Ligon Duncan

“The twin pillars of historic Protestantism—the authority of the
Bible and justification by faith alone—have been under attack since the
beginning of the Reformation. But the recent assault on justification by the New
Perspective on Paul and by the Federal Vision is particularly pernicious,
cloaked as it is in apparent scholarship and piety. This important book defends
the historic Reformation doctrine with better scholarship and more profound
piety.” W. Robert Godfrey, President and Professor of Church
History, Westminster Seminary California
“In the sixteenth century, Martin Luther boldly declared that the
doctrine of justification is the article by which the church stands or falls. In
the twenty-first century, many churches have not stood their ground but have
fallen prey to the voices of those who have offered new perspectives on an
ancient, biblical doctrine. I am thankful the Lord has raised up faithful men to
provide the people of God with a clear, biblical perspective on this most
precious doctrine.” Burk Parsons ,
