Made Righteous by David Elias
Made Righteous: The Teaching of John Chrysostom on Justification from the Letter to the Romans offers a discourse analysis of justification in John Chrysostom's writings. It analyses Chrysostom’s homilies and practices regarding justification, engaging his thoughts with modern scholarship. Elias masterfully interweaves the fields of biblical studies and patristics, considering them as integrated disciplines. The book begins by outlining the human ontological problems after the Fall, and then it examines Chrysostom’s understanding of justification as a solution to the human condition. It further explores God’s righteousness through Christ’s redeeming works. Additionally, Elias delves into Chrysostom’s theology and practices to understand his model of justification. Finally, the book considers the ultimate purpose of justification as deification.
