Is the Righteousness of God the Gift of Righteousness?

Another interesting article on the "righteousness of God" - a key phrase, especially in Paul's Letter to the Romans.

I think the view Bird explains here is probably the correct one. The phrase means "a righteous status from God." Bird's article gives those of us who take this, the classic Protestant line, some food for thought though!
