"In creative ways, Vickers juxtaposes Adam, Abraham, Israel and the Mosaic Law, respectively, with their supreme and crowning counterpart, Jesus, the obedient second Adam, the fulfillment of the promise to Abraham, and the atonement as the goal of the Mosaic Law." - Hans F. Bayer

"It is hard to exaggerate the importance of justification, for it is about being right with God. Brian Vickers's new work on the matter is to be warmly welcomed. Here we find a clear and accessible and most importantly a biblical restatement of what the scriptures teach about justification. . . . This is the first book I would give to a scholar or layperson desiring to learn more about justification." - Thomas R. Schreiner

"A well-organized and gripping synthesis of the many biblical passages that speak to the simple but infinitely profound question posed by the Philippian jailer: "What must I do to be saved?" Vickers shows that the answer lies first of all in what God in Christ has done. It is hard to imagine a more wide-ranging, sure-footed, and user-friendly study upholding the doctrine by which, indeed, the true church stands or falls." - Robert W. Yarbrough
