Description:Does faith alone justify? This and nine other questions are answered in this classic, seventeenth-century analysis of the doctrine of justification. Martin Luther contended that the church stands or falls on the doctrine of justification. With challenges to the Reformer's view coming from several directions today, R.C. Sproul find the appearance of Francis Turretin's Justification "a welcome relief".

Is the ground of our justification "the righteousness of Christ in us or the righteousness of Christ for us?" In the introduction, Sproul finds Turretin (1623-1687) to be "at his best" when addressing this key issue.

Justification addresses ten questions, beginning with "Is the word justification always used in a forensic sense in this argument; or is it also used in a moral and physical sense?"

Francis Turretin (1623–1687) was pastor of the church of Geneva for nearly forty years and was professor of theology.
