Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Elucidating the distinctions on the doctrine of Justification between the Church of Rome and the Church of England, George Stanley Faber’s The Primitive Doctrine of Justification Investigated then explores the texts of the early Church Fathers to determine how they viewed the nature of justification. A major doctrinal difference between these two churches, Faber’s exhaustive research and articulate observations shed light on this long-standing disagreement.
