'All of these qualities elevate his work to such a high level that
anyone who desires to adequately grasp and engage the Reformed view
of justification in modern academia will have to read and interact
with Horton's Justification... should be required reading in any
course on soteriology... Horton's Justification is much more than a
solid, convincing academic piece; it is a close look into what
makes the gospel good news, filling believers with confidence and
hope in Christ for this life and the one to come.'
*Lucas Sabatier M. Leite, Reading Religion (American Academy of
Religion)*
'In summary, Horton's Justification is a robust articulation of the
doctrine that successfully manages to situate the doctrine
historically, articulate its theological importance, reflect upon
its biblical foundations, and to engage firmly but charitably its
contemporary critics. It will be a valuable resource to students of
the doctrine for years to come...a rich reward is in store.'
*Guy Prentiss Waters, Themelios*
'Over 900 pages of some of the most important research done on the
doctrine of justification from a Protestant perspective in the last
several decades... This two-volume work is indispensable reading
for any interested in rebutting current critiques of justification
by grace alone through faith alone.'
*Mark Mattes, Lutheran Quarterly*
'These two volumes on Justification are not only enormously good
but enormously important. I'm so grateful for them and I think they
could be and should be game-changing for evangelicalism... Charles
Taylor's A Secular Age and your work on Justification are the two
most important books I've read in the last 10 years (at least)...
I'd have every ministry student working in western culture read and
master the arguments of both. If I had my way I'd find a way to
have three full courses--one devoted to Taylor, one to Horton's
Justification, and one to the Institutes--in each course the entire
work would be read and distilled.'
*Tim Keller, Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York
City*
'Writing with theological and pastoral passion, Horton is a
formidable polemicist who never loses sight of his central concern,
so that his book is both an exciting debate and a moving witness to
the Pauline, Lutheran, and Calvinist Gospel... Horton's very
readable volumes are a major theological statement that may rouse
from their slumbers the despisers of the Reformation and the
Pauline message. I would like to see them in the hands of every
student of theology.'
*Fr. Joseph O’Leary, Modern Theology*
