This scholarly work is a refutation of the view that the doctrine of the imputation of Christ’s righteousness is unbiblical and unnecessary to the doctrine of justification. Because of the new change in the methodology used in this blog (namely the discontinuation of summaries), the blogposts made relating to this book were mainly brief summaries of specific points and also brief commentary.
Only a total of four posts were made concerning John Piper’s “Counted Righteous in Christ,” wherein only one directly addresses the main issue of the book. A summary of the argument can be found in the post “The Controversy of Faith as Our Righteousness,” whereas the other three posts referred to other aspects of the doctrine of imputation which were generally referred to in the footnotes or sub-points.

As a brief explanation of the doctrine of the imputation of Christ’s righteousness, I’ve embedded a video below, provided by Desiring God, of Sinclair Ferguson giving a summary of this doctrine.

The moral nature and disposition of one being can not be transfered to another, and it be just, it is personal and non-transferable.
