Brief Description: "All parts of this book are extracted from Wikipedia"--T.p. verso. Brief Description: A collection of documents on the subject of legalism and the Christian faith, obtained from the website Wikipedia. Publisher Marketing: Legalism, in Christian theology, is a sometimes-pejorative term referring to an over-emphasis on law or codes of conduct, or legal ideas, usually implying an allegation of misguided rigor, pride, superficiality, the neglect of mercy, and ignorance of the grace of God or emphasizing the letter of law over the spirit. Legalism is alleged against any view that obedience to law, not faith in God's grace, is the pre-eminent principle of redemption. Its opposite error is antinomianism, which is alleged against a view that moral laws are no longer binding
