Justification by Faith Alone: Selected Writings from Theodore Beza, Amandus Polanus, and Francis Turretin

The texts in this volume begin and end with this same point. Composed under different circumstances by giants of the Reformed tradition, Theodore Beza, Amandus Polanus, and Francis Turretin, they represent genres of classical treatments of the doctrine of justification. Beza's Defense is polemical and in response to ecclesiastical controversy. Polanus' Free Justification is systematic and the fruit of logical argumentation based on Scripture. Turretin's Harmony is exegetical and in the form of an academic disputation. Together they touch on a host of important theological concerns: the nature of faith, good works, sanctification, union with Christ, the Holy Spirit, hermeneutics, and the unity of Scripture.
