The Role of Good Works in Justification: Review of Chapter 16 of Thomas Schreiner's Faith Alone - The Doctrine of Justification

Dr. Thomas R. Schreiner is the James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament and the Associate Dean of Scripture and Interpretation at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. That school strongly advocates five-point Calvinism and justification by faith alone (understood from a Calvinist perspective).
Over the past few decades the way in which Calvinists explain justification by faith alone—sola fide in Latin—has changed somewhat. While Calvinists have long spoken of true faith (i.e., faith that perseveres in obedience to the end of life), they have been reluctant to actually say that good works are necessary for justification.
No longer.
