Righteousness, Volume 3

“Jeffrey Niehaus has produced the most comprehensive and careful study of the biblical concept of righteousness yet written. Many prior studies of the topic were theologically but not exegetically generated, and many followed the old notion that righteousness was conformity to the created order. Tracking and inductively analyzing—in exemplary detail—all the assertions about righteousness in both Testaments, he demonstrates convincingly that righteousness is conformity to God’s being and doing. This book not only achieves its purpose, but serves as an example of how biblical theology can and should be done.”


—Douglas Stuart, senior professor of Old Testament, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary





“Jeffrey Niehaus concludes his trilogy on righteousness by turning to the New Testament. He combines scholarly rigor and theological precision with a clear, inviting style that is accessible to all Christians. The great virtue of the first two volumes is evident here as well: each relevant text is allowed to speak for itself, without being pressed into service for a rigid system.”
