Some quotations on Chapter 5 of 'The Way of Salvation' by Paul Rainbow

"Bede, in reconciling Paul and James on the justification of Abbraham, points out that what Paul denies is 'merit derived from works performed beforehand', while James sees that the patriarch 'performed good works in the light of his faith'" (p. 83)

"Luther and Calvin did not acknowledge the distinction between works of the law and good works. They tried to negate it.

In his lecture on Galatians 2:16, Luther defined 'works of the law' to encompass 'everything that can be done on the basis of the Law, whether by divine power or by human'" (p. 84)

"Ephesians 2:8-10 is paradigmatic for the difference between works (of the law) and good works" (p.87)

"Moo may harbour a theological assumption, common to the Reformation heritage, that God's grace triumphs over that which is human as such rather than over that which is corrupt in humanity." (p.88)
