Section 1261
The revelation of the Divine grace which awakens faith takes place, according to St. Paul, in the Person of Christ (2 Co 5") and in His work, more especially in His death, but also in His resurrec- tion. Christ's death was the work of the Divine grace in that God ordained it as an expiatory sacrifice for sin, Christ dy…

Finally, we get still further light on St. Paul's meaning as to justification from the fact that in Ro 4' he introduces, as synonymous with the im- putation of righteousness or justification, the OT idea of the forgiveness of sins (cf. also Eph 1'), which links his teaching on at once to that of Christ Himself ; and i…

We have thus to return to St. Paul, and ask how he met this dilficulty. He does it by opening a new line of argument, in which he presents a fresh view of the death and resurrection of Christ, where these acts appear in the ethical sense of a death to sin and a resurrection to a new life unto God (Ro 6iO), and where, f…

In Western Catholicism the doctrine of justifica- tion remains substantially that of Augustine. The Roman Catholic doctrine was finally formulated in opposition to Protestantism at the Council of Trent. It is necessary to refer to two points only. The first is that, in the Middle Ages, Duns Scotus taught a modification…

The chani Paulin doctrine is marked the ness, into that of the imputation of Christ's righteousness, is not merely one of language. The conception of Christ's death as a satisfaction to the penal sanctions of the Divine law, on the ground of which God forgives sinners, may, indeed, be accepted as a natural interpre…

The influence of the Reformed theology is plainly A-isible in the position of Sclileiermacher, that justi- fication is, as a Divine act, to be viewed as realized first of all in Christ, and then succes-sively in be- lievers.

Such, then, would seem to be the necessary re- statement of the Pauline doctrine of the revelation of the grace of God in Christ in view of the his- torical statements of the Gospels. To complete it, however, it is necessary to add that the function of the resurrection is to make the historical revela- tion permanent a…

The Kenotic theories concern themselves speci- ally with the three metaphysical attributes of God, manifest in His transcendent, yet im- manent, relation to the world — omnipresence, omnipotence, omniscience. The Gospels show that Jesus possessed none of these. He was localized in a body (Jn 1" ' tabernacled among us')…

Another passage in which the content of the term is virtually indicated by Jesus is the reply which He gave to the question of certain Pharisees.

(c) Another special use of the term ' kingdom of heaven,' and yet one that is easily derived from its fundamental idea, is found in a considerable num- ber of passages.

In utter contrast to this view, the fundamental conception of Jesus was, from the first, non -political and universal.
