In this work from the Puritan Thomas Goodwin, he walks the Christian through Romans 8:34 to explain how because Christ has died, risen, and now sits at the right hand of God he is the perfect mediator between God and man and there is none that can condemn the Christian. This work would be good for any Christian who doubts the works of Christ and their salvation.

Beginning with the Old Testament, Goodwin shows that faith is supported by 'two grand pillars', God's promise of Christ and God's precious nature. He shows what God does for 'humbled and broken hearts'. It is Christ rather than faith which becomes the theme.

In this important study Hays argues against the mainstream that any attempt to account for the nature and method of Paul's theological language must first reckon with the centrality of narrative elements in his thought. Through an in-depth investigation of Galatians 3:1-4:11, Hays shows that the framework of Paul's thought is neither a system of doctrines nor his personal religious experience but the "sacred story" of Jesus Christ.

James Buchanan (1804–1870) was a Scottish minister and theologian. He joined the Free Church of Scotland in 1843, and succeeded Thomas Chalmers as professor of systematic theology at the New College of the Free Church in Edinburgh in 1847, a post he held for twenty-one years. Buchanan's magnum opus was The Doctrine of Justification, which still has great value as a classic treatment of the article by which Martin Luther says the church stands or falls. He covers biblical, systematic, and historical ground in his work, but is never far from a warm-hearted evangelical delight in the doctrines he is expounding.
