N.T. Wright and the Doctrine of Justification: A Panel Discussion
Posted by Phil in New Testament, Salvation on February 9, 2010
Further from my post yesterday, on ligioner's website there is a video on NT Wrights view of the gospel. This is a panel discussion, but will give you an idea of what NT Wright is trying to say or trying to avoid saying??. NT Wright takes a view, that, the reformers got it wrong about Justification, particularly on their view of works based salvation in Judaism in 1st century Palestine.
It seems as though NT Wright has based his views on 1st century Judaism on EP Sanders (EP Sanders is a liberal evangelical) work, anyhow check the video out for yourself. Mark Seifried answers this correctly around the 10 minute mark in the discussion.
(Albert Mohler leads a panel discussion at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary with professors Tom Schreiner, Mark Seifrid, Denny Burk, and Brian Vickers on N.T. Wright and the Doctrine of Justification (September 2009))
Is ‘NT Wright’ Teaching Another Gospel?
Posted by Phil in New Testament, Salvation, covenant on February 8, 2010
It seems that everywhere you turn, you can read differing opinions on NT Wrights (New) perspective on Paul. NT Wright adds to earlier works (Dunn and Sanders) although, he does not agree with everything they had to say. So the question remains, is Tom Wright re – writing the Gospel? Did the reformers get it wrong or is the 'New Perspective' the correct understanding of 'what Paul really said'?
Here are some helpful links that will show where NT Wright has got it wrong:
- Ligon Duncan and Sinclair Ferguson address the question, "Is Wright teaching another gospel from the New Testament, as understood & written by the Apostle Paul?" Watch the Video!

The Doctrine of Justification and the New Perspectives on Paul – For the past few decades, a paradigm shift in New Testament scholarship has led some researchers to question whether the church has rightly understood first-century Judaism and the apostle Paul. In the name of a “New Perspective on Paul,” certain men are calling for a reassessment of the traditional Pauline understanding of the doctrine of justification, the nature of good works, and other elements essential to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Prominent among these figures is N.T. Wright, bishop of Durham and theologian who in his voluminous writings is demanding a new reading of Paul, even claiming that the Protestant Reformers misunderstood the apostle to read more and see a huge resource of materials click here
