Jesus' Blood and Righteousness Paul's Theology of Imputation

The question of whether Paul teaches that Christrs" s righteousness is imputed to the believer has been debated for roughly four hundred years. Some of the questions that arise are: What is the connection between Adam and the rest of the human race? How did Christ fulfill the role of the second or new Adam? How can the " ungodly" stand before a righteous God? In Jesusrs" Blood and Righteousness, Brian Vickers investigates the key Pauline texts linked historically to the topic of imputation. Though Vickers spends a good deal of time on the particulars of each text, he keeps one eye on the broader biblical horizon; like any doctrine, imputation must be investigated exegetically and synthetically. This book, and its conclusion that the imputation of Christrs" s righteousness is a legitimate and necessary synthesis of Paulrs" s teaching, is a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on imputation.Vickers, Brian is the author of 'Jesus' Blood and Righteousness Paul's Theology of Imputation', published 2006 under ISBN 9781581347548 and ISBN 1581347545.
