The justification of the godless. Does everything that the Protestant Church in the 21st century teaches, how it acts, and what it insists on - does this all depend on this article of faith?

Abstract

The question of the justification doctrine is answered (1): in a survey on it, how this doctrine lives in the 20th century Protestant Theology, and (2) in the author's own (Barthian) thesis: The justification message are like a relative verbum in relation to an absolut fact - the event of justification in Jesus Christ's life, death and resurrection.
