ANTOSIANDRIANS

Volume 3 · 61 words · 1842 Edition

a sect of rigid Lutherans, who oppose the doctrine of Osiander relating to justification. These are otherwise denominated Osiandromastigists. The Antosiandrians deny that man is made just with that justice wherewith God himself is just; that is, they assert that he is not made essentially, but only imputatively, just; or, that he is not really made just, but only pronounced so.
