Abstract
The doctrine of justification by faith in the Pauline writings was set within the context of Gentile-Jewish relations. It was used to explain how Gentiles could be part of God's people without first fulfilling the Mosaic Law. Early Catholic theologians continued to understand the significance of the doctrine in terms of Gentile-Jewish relations. The sixteenth-century Lutheran reformers used the teaching on justification by faith to answer another set of problems and questions. In doing so, however, they placed the doctrine within a setting very different from that of both the New Testament and the early Catholic Tradition.
