The doctrine of justification remains a struggle with which generations of Christians are plagued. The struggle, it is to be understood, manifests not so much in the understanding of this doctrine, but in its application. Dissension regarding what it means to be justified is no novel feud, but rather, has persisted for centuries, most notably in the uproar that followed the life’s work of one German Augustinian monk, Martin Luther. Even before Luther’s day, however, squabbles over the intricacies of God’s justification of sinners can be traced back to the discourses of Jesus of Nazareth. Nowhere, though, is the doctrine of justification enlarged upon more than in the apostle Paul’s personal and forensic epistle to the churches in Galatia.
