A thought inspired by Oswald Bayer’s Living By Faith: Justification and Sanctification : The doctrine of justification has something ?EI know not what ?Eto say to the postmodern suspicion of “the objectifying gaze.” Justification is fundamentally about the gaze of God, about who is just in the “eyes of God” and how. Justification indicates that we cannot escape the gaze, though we at the same time do (with the postmodernists) escape the condemning gaze of the world. Something here ?EI know not what.
