Disputations on Hermeneutics - 5

In my ongoing attempt to edit and re-edit the paper I began several months ago, regarding different hermeneutical systems, I've included a section that examines a couple consequential doctrines that result from the assumptions made within the system.  Below is the introduction of the portion on the doctrine of justification.  I'd like to get some feedback regarding the ideas I've presented.

Justification

Another doctrine one may observe in order to see the affects of a hermeneutical structure as it is applied is that of justification.  In opposition to some liberal theologies today, all Christian theology affirms the legal aspect of the atonement.   Often referred to in academic circles as “forensic justification”, the atonement wrought for us by Christ on the cross involved two sides; in Covenant Theology it is expressed in terms of Christ’s covenantal obedience on the part of the elect—where Adam disobeyed that covenant resulting in the condemnation of the world and the imputation of his sin to all his posterity, thus meriting for us God’s just damnation, Christ on the other hand merited for God’s elect, His own righteousness so God could be justified in calling us His Sons.  The two sides of this doctrine (in Covenant Theology and other systems) are often referred to as the passive and active obedience of Christ: Christ actively obeyed God’s Law thus establishing the righteousness all believers need to stand before God without condemnation, and He passively obeyed God as He allowed Himself to be crucified and forsaken on the cross as a payment for all the sins of all who would ever believe.  So, in the atonement we see redemption accomplished by Christ in His life, death and resurrection (wherein the sins of all believers were imputed to Him), and applied to individuals temporally as they believe (having the righteousness of Christ imputed to them).  Therefore God’s exoneration of the elect is justified; His holiness is vindicated on the cross, and we inherit the Heavens and the Earth with Christ.

            Where Christian theological systems part ways has been over the doctrine of justification throughout the different ages of redemptive history; its accomplishment is generally viewed as transepochal but the manner of its application seems to be the source of the dispute.  Below I have included a chart that may be helpful in discerning the different views held by the different hermeneutical systems.
