<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Are Christians merely forgiven or do they possess the righteousness of Christ? Many question how--or if--we receive the full righteousness of Christ. In this important new book, Piper points out that we need to see ourselves as having been recipients of the imputation of Christ's righteousness and, therefore, enjoy full acceptance with God and the everlasting inheritance of life and joy.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Are Christians merely forgiven, or do they possess the righteousness of Christ? Recently the time-honored understanding of the doctrine of justification has come under attack. Many question how-or if-we receive the full righteousness of Christ.</p><p>Martin Luther said that if we understand justification "we are in the clearest light; if we do not know it, we dwell in the densest darkness." And now, in this new and important book, John Piper accepts Luther's challenge. He points out that we need to see ourselves as having been recipients of the imputation of Christ's righteousness and therefore enjoy full acceptance with God and the everlasting inheritance of life and joy.</p><p>Piper writes as both a pastor and a scholar. His pastor's heart is shown in his zeal for the welfare of the church. His careful scholarship is evident in each explanation and undergirds each conclusion.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>John Piper</strong> is founder and lead teacher of desiringGod.org and chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary. He served for thirty-three years as the pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and is the author of more than fifty books, including <em>Desiring God</em>; <em>Don't Waste Your Life</em>; and <em>Reading the Bible Supernaturally</em>.</p>
