On 31 October 1999, exactly 482 years after Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five theses to the church door in Wittenberg, the Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran World Federation signed a historic joint declaration on the doctrine of justification. Recent agreements between Lutheran, Reformed, and Episcopal churches have expressed similar commitments. But what do these agreements mean for churches today?Persuaded that the "doctrine" of justification is also "gospel" -- the good news of life in Christ -- the contributors to "The Gospel of Justification in Christ," from both Catholic and Protestant traditions, explore this crucial doctrine, addressing such topics as the unity of the church, justification's relation to social justice, and its significance for interfaith dialogue.Contributors: Gary J.
