This book is a study in the forgiveness of sins and how it relates to Christ's work, specifically His resurrection. This is often termed objective justification, a hotly contested teaching within Lutheranism today. Using both historical sources and modern authors, this work probes and clarifies one of the most important and neglected doctrinal topics in Christianity and even conservative Lutheranism. It shows how errors and divergences in this doctrine affect preaching, teaching, and the definition of the Gospel itself.
