What is justification in Christian thought and theology? What does this mean for our thinking and living? Is grace enough?In Justification: By Grace Through Faith, Dr. Edward Vick looks at this with the eye of a biblical scholar, a theologian, and a philosopher, carefully discussing and integrating the various definitions to provide a precise depiction of the Christian doctrine of justification by grace through faith.This book resulted from notes made for a seminary class many years ago, and as such it is designed to answer the questions that seeking minds and likely to want answered. Rather than simply proposing and defending a specific theory, you will find here a detailed discussion of the important elements of this doctrine.Dr. Vick strives above all to center the discussion in Christ and to bring clarity by examining those issues that can distract a student, and dealing faithfully and fairly with various points of view.This text will be valuable for any one, or any group, that wants to make a serious study of salvation and particularly the place of justification.

In this first volume of the Participatory Study Series to deal with a doctrine rather than with a book of the Bible, Dr. Edward W. H. Vick tackles the very difficult subject of eschatology, or last things. This is not your usual outline of someone's idea of what will happen at the end of the world. Instead, this study guide will lead readers through a systematic study of how one comes to understand this topic systematically and thoroughly from a biblical and theological perspective. Dr. Vick also interacts with Christian history and with major doctrinal statements of various confessions as well as the quest for the historical Jesus. How is one to understand prophecy and apocalyptic? What does it mean when Jesus says that 'this generation will not pass'? These questions receive a thorough treatment, not to provide you with all the answers, but instead to provide you with the tools to discover how you can find these answers. Church small groups, classes, and individuals can all benefit from following this study.
