Title: The heart of the controversy is ignored
Product review: Nowhere does Mr. Akin talk about "imputation" as it relates to the protestant understanding of justification. As R.C. Sproul notes in his work, Faith Alone, "The question of inherent versus imputed righteousness goes to the heart of the Reformation debate." This is the crux of the controversy but it is totally and completely absent from this work. So it should not be recommended by anyone with any understanding of what really separates the two systems. It would be like discussing the priesthood of Christ without mentioning Melchizedek. Also, Mr. Akin never engages on Romans 5:12-21, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Galatians 3:13 and 1 Peter 2:24, all of which go to the heart of the true controversy, the imputed vs. the inherent righteousness of Christ. It is troubling that Mr. Akin is the senior apologist at Catholic Answers and omits such a critical part of the controversy in this work.
