WHAT'S DEATH IN ADAM, LIFE IN CHRIST ABOUT?
The Back of the Book:

The doctrine of imputation is the ground in which salvation is rooted. It centers around the three great ‘assignments' of the Bible:

• Adam's original sin assigned to mankind


• The sins of God's people assigned to Chrsit


• And Christ's righteousness assigned to all of His people.
  This doctrine is often seen as superfluous or splitting hairs, and yet, without it, redemption automatically becomes reliant on our own works and assurance of salvation is suddenly not so sure.J. V. Fesko eloquently and systematically works through this doctrine, looking at its long history in the church, its exegetical foundation, and its dogmatic formulation. In exploring imputed guilt from the First Adam alongside the imputed righteousness from the Second, this volume offers a helpfully well-rounded explanation of the doctrine.
