The "Old Perspective" on Justification in the Genesis Patriarchal Narratives
In case you haven’t noticed, the doctrine of justification by faith alone (sola fide) is under attack. A growing number of modern scholars are conflating faith and obedience, confusing faith’s mode of operation in justification with its mode of operation in sanctification. This “new perspective” is based in part on a faulty reading of Genesis 15:6 where we read, “And [Abram] believed the LORD, and [God] counted it to him as righteousness” (ESV). What Luther and Calvin interpreted as a simple act of faith in God’s promise, some modern scholars are construing as a more complex demonstration of the patriarch’s faithfulness to God’s expectations.

Graduate Profile: Dan Loggans, Master of Theological Studies (M.T.S.)

/
I praise God for his mercy and grace towards me in Christ. His kindness has been evident in my life since birth. Born into a pastor’s home, I can’t remember a time when I was not aware of God and His glory revealed in Christ. Through the faithful teaching and preaching of the gospel, God drew me to Himself at a young age and I turned in faith toward Him and in repentance away from my own righteousness and my sin. What grace to know that in my “hell-bound race” God pursued me even as a child!
