What is it about?
This book examines John Henry Newman's 'Lectures on Justification' arguing that he articulates a doctrine of justification by divine Presence midway between popular Protestantism's forensic justification and Romanism's justification by created habit.

Why is it important?
This book corrects previous misreadings of Newman's 'Lectures'. Second, it gives a complete explanation of them in their historical context. Third, the last chapter places Newman in the context of the current debates over justification.
Perspectives
This is the first critical assessment of Newman's 'Lectures' that treats his theology of justification as uniquely Anglican. It shows how Newman draws from the Articles and Homilies to make his case for an Anglican via media theology of justification.
