Thomas Schriener on Christian's Good Works

"The emphasis on good works is seriously misunderstood if such works are conceived as the basis of justification. Believers are justified by grace alone but faith always produces good works and such good works are necessary for eternal life. They function as evidence that one has new life in Christ".
Thomas Schriener - "40 Questions on Christians and Biblical Law" - Kregel Books - 2010 - p146.

Thomas Schriener and Christian Tithing

"Even though tithing is not mandated, there is no call in the New Testament to hoard one's possessions or to live selfishly ... The tithe itself is not mandated by Scripture and Scripture is our rule and authority rather than a tradition that requires believers to tithe".
Thomas Schriener - "40 Questions on Christians and Biblical Law" - Kregel Books - 2010 - pp221.

Thomas Schriener on the Purpose of the Law

"The purpose of the law is to reveal human sin so that it will be clear that there is no hope in human beings".
Thomas Schriener - "40 Questions about Christians and Biblical Law" - Kregel Books - 2010 - p84.

Terry Virgo on 2009!!

"It is particularly extraordinary to notice that three commentaries on the book of Galatians will be published this year – one by DA Carson, one by Thomas Schreiner and one by Douglas Moo. One can hardly wait! This should be a hard year for legalists!".
