As the previous post made clear, I genuinely appreciate a lot of what N.T Wright writes. Not only do I think it is true, but I believe that many in the Reformed world desperately need to learn many things from him. That said, I have been recently looking again at some of the issues we addressed in our special Credenda issue a few years back (“A Pauline Take on the New Perspective”), and wanted to state something here for the record (again). To the extent that N.T. Wright is affected by E.P. Sanders’ views on Second Temple Judaism (and he is, to a significant degree), to that same extent, Wright is an unreliable guide to Paul, particularly on matters of imputation, justification, legalism, the pre-conversion life of Saul, and 2 Cor. 5:21. Just so you know what I think.
