Faith, Obedience, and Justification
This is Dr. Waldron’s Ph.D. dissertation from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Its subtitle is Current Evangelical Departures from Sola Fide. After an abstract and introduction Waldron covers such issues as:
- Sola Fide in Luther
- Sola Fide in Calvin
- Sola Fide in the Reformation Confessions
Against that historical-theological background, Waldron then deals with the revisionism of Daniel Fuller, Norman Shepherd, and Don Garlington.
