T.F. Torrance aims in this book to discover how and why there came about in the early history of the Christian Church the enormous difference that exists between the faith of the New Testament and that of the second and third centuries. He explores how the concept of grace is distinctively characteristic of every doctrine of the New Testament, and yet at the same time is the most sensitive to change.

'Justification by faith - by faith alone - on the basis of God's grace alone is a key gospel doctrine. Indeed, with Martin Luther, I would argue that it is the cardinal doctrine of the gospel. Naturally, therefore, the devil can never leave it alone; he makes sure that it is constantly under attack - remorselessly undermining it. He has been engaged in his nefarious practice right from the time the apostles, and never has he let up! Nor will he until the end of the age (2 Thess. 2:3-12; 1 Tim. 4:1; 2 Tim. 3:1; 2 Pet. 3:3). He has met with considerable success, and continues to do so - not least in that there are grim signs that the Apostolic Fathers and their doctrines are coming into vogue. Moreover, not a few former Evangelicals and Reformed are defecting to Rome or the Orthodox Church, both of which Churches are heavily dependent on the Apostolic (and later) Fathers. I deplore this rising interest in the Fathers, for they gravely impaired the doctrine of justification, the consequences of which are with us still. And all this explains why I publish this designedly-simple booklet on the work of Thomas F.Torrance: "The Doctrine of Grace in the Apostolic Fathers." Torrance's book is invaluable in this area... By this annotated digest of Torrance's work, I will set out how the Apostolic Fathers warped the doctrine of justification by faith. Consequently, to return to the Apostolic Fathers - which, as I have explained, not a few are doing - is to take a fatal step over this cardinal doctrine of the gospel. It really is that serious! I write, bearing in mind the apostle's injunction to Timothy when faced with apostasy in his day: "If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed" (1 Tim. 4:6)'. So writes David Gay as he opens this booklet. For a free audio book of the author reading this title, please go to davidhjgay.com

This book seeks to answer the following question: how did the doctrine of justification fare one hundred years after Paul’s death (c. AD 165)? This book argues that Paul’s view of justification by faith is present in the second century, a thesis that particularly challenges T. F. Torrance’s long-held notion that the Apostolic Fathers abandoned this doctrine (The Doctrine of Grace in the Apostolic Fathers, 1948). In the wake of Torrance’s work there has been a general consensus that the early fathers advocated works righteousness in opposition to Paul’s belief that an individual is justified before God by faith alone, but second-century writings do not support this claim. Each author examined—Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to Diognetus, Odes of Solomon, and Justin Martyr—contends that faith is the only necessary prerequisite for justification, even if they do indicate the importance of virtuous living. This is the first major study on the doctrine of justification in the second century, thus filling a large lacuna in scholarship. With the copious amounts of research being conducted on justification, it is alarming that no work has been done on how the first interpreters of Paul received one of his trademark doctrines. It is assumed, wrongly, that the fathers were either uninterested in the doctrine or that they misunderstood the Apostle. Neither of these is the case. This book is timely in that it enters the fray of the justification debate from a neglected vantage point.

In this first volume of Sin, Grace and Free Will, Matthew Knell embarks on a journey through centuries of Christian thought, from the Apostolic Fathers to St Augustine of Hippo. While the themes of sin, grace and free will are familiar to any Christian, Knell provides a comprehensive overview of how people such as Irenaeus, Gregory of Nazianzus and Augustine explored these ideas, following the development of early church philosophy on topics such as the problem of evil and the crucial difference between conscious and unconscious sin, as well as the distinction between body and soul. An indispensable primer for any beginning scholar, Sin, Grace and Free Will presents the writings of Christian thinkers of the early church in context and examines the progress of church doctrine from the nascent model of sin in the Shepherd of Hermas to Origen's analysis of divine influence on human will and Augustine's seminal work on grace and salvation.

These early Christian leaders set the pattern of faith and practice still evident in the Church today. The spirit and impact of that heritage are presented to the reader unfamiliar with the actual writings of these Fathers of the early Church. The author carefully avoids technical and controversial elements that are of interest only to scholars. Historical matters are featured especially in regard to the teachings on the sacraments and the ministry. This emphasis upon the writings results in a concise, yet comprehensive pattern of the Fathers' major contribution to the life and teachings in the early Church. For theological students, ministers, and Christian laymen, this study of the Apostolic Fathers offers a compact introduction to the early foundation and consequent development of Christian beliefs. It illuminates the common faith and heritage that have united Christians throughout the ages.
