Will it be the seminal work of the 21st century reconfiguring evangelical theology away from Lutheran and Calvinist influence to the 'real' Paul.”--Peter Carrell<br /><br />I certainly hope so. As a partisan of the Christus Victor school, I say anything can only be an improvement on Calvinism!<br /><br />Although I’m not a professional theologian, I do have a certificate in theology from the Education for Ministry (EFM) program through Trinity Church, Wall Street. I will follow with interest your comments, (as well as those of other theologians like Tim Harris on the right and Bosco Peters and Howard Pilgrim on the left).<br /><br />Kurt Hill<br />Wilting in Heat Wave Brooklyn, NY<br />(Which this month has been suffering through days<br />of 100F+ weather [37C+] which may be ho-hum to folks<br />from NSW or WA but here in the Northeast is a Very Big Deal)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-44263444819123075602010-07-15T15:28:15.479+12:002010-07-15T15:28:15.479+12:00Having followed the debate a little between Bishop...Having followed the debate a little between Bishop Tom Wright and Pastor John Piper, I would love to hear more of your thoughts on this subject as you continue reading this "bombshell" tome.Judahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02068822541550519981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-58695381916389081582010-07-15T14:32:32.473+12:002010-07-15T14:32:32.473+12:00It is certainly challenging reading, as much for w...It is certainly challenging reading, as much for writing style as content! I'm not convinced of a number aspects to his argument (especially his reading of Romans - he lost me there), but there are many intriguing observations along the way. Having said that, I think he ends up in a place not too dissimilar to my own position, but I take a very different route to get there...<br /><br />I haven't come across many detailed reviews as yet (but I haven't checked in recent months), perhaps indicating that the general community of Pauline scholars are unsure quite what to make of it, in its many parts and as a whole.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing what you make of it all.Tim Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316071177447733796noreply@blogger.com
