Hands of Faith (Wipf & Stock listing reference)
Book •
Hands of Faith presents a historical and theological defense of the Lutheran distinction between passive righteousness before God and active righteousness toward neighbor, addressing contemporary law-gospel reductionism.
Dr. Jordan Cooper traces the idea through Luther, the Lutheran confessions, and Lutheran Orthodoxy, adding pastoral applications on vocation, spiritual formation, and pastoral care.
The book includes an appendix surveying scriptural passages relevant to the distinction and aims to correct misunderstandings that either deny the law's role or reduce the gospel to law.
It is published by Wipf & Stock and positioned for pastors, theologians, and informed laity seeking clarity on justification and sanctification.
