Overview

The first volume of this three-volume work reviews the history of efforts to define biblical righteousness. The second and third volumes exegete and comment on every occurrence of the terms for righteousness in the Old and New Testament. Niehaus provides a general discussion of the righteous word group in Scripture and concludes with a discussion of the righteousness of God and the righteousness of faith. He shows that the underlying sense of righteousness is conformity to God’s Being and doing, and the same is true of the righteousness of God.
