Abstract
"From the perspective of evangelical Protestantism historically de˜ned, one would have thought that in our day the doctrine of justi˜cation by faith alone would remain one of the central tenets of the faith, a doctrinal element foundational to the one gospel of Jesus Christ faithfully proclaimed in every age and every culture. Presumably a Protestant of the reputedly evangelical variety would have regarded this doctrine as a theological nonnegotiable. Regrettably, such is not the case in contemporary Protestantism. The doctrine that once distinguished Protestantism from Roman Catholicism has begun to fade into the background. The sharp line of demarcation between Scriptural ˜delity and apostasy—respecting that which historic Protestantism considered to be the doctrine upon which the Church stood or fell—has virtually been obliterated"
