Here's a methodological oddity in some treatments of justification: On the one hand, justification is taken as a sum of the gospel. On the other hand, virtually the ONLY discussion of justification in the OT is philological Ethe meaning of the terms Eand often even this is limited to a few passages.
It would seem that if justification is the gospel, then it should be developed in the context of a biblical theology of judgment, justification, and righteousness that would attend in great detail to the OT witness. Reformed theology gives some attention to this by developing the doctrine of justification in the context of the Adam-Christ structure (as in Romans 5). But this is not adequate to the task.
