Long Before Luther

by: Nathan Busenitz

We often hear in the church today that the doctrine of justification by grace alone through faith alone came from the Reformation. Because of this, some think the doctrine of Sola Fida (faith alone) should be seen as an invention of the reformers.

In this wonderful book by Dr. Busenitz, he shows us, in no uncertain terms, that this is not the case. We see that this doctrine originates in Scripture and can be found in the writings of several early church Fathers. Men like Clement of Rome (unknown-100), Ambrose of Milan (337-397), Agustine of Hippo (354-430), and Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153). Through a detailed yet readable engagement with some of the opposing views, Dr. Busenitz urges each of us on to a deeper appreciation for the doctrine of justification by grace alone through faith alone. Pick this book up today and enjoy the read.
