Book Reviews of Paul: In Fresh Perspective

Book Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars

This is exhibit one in what Roger Olson calls "post conservative theology": how we re-understand the scriptures in a way that leads to orthodox or evangelical beliefs without seeking to affirm ideas of early modernism that may no longer fit. While Calvin and Luther were orthodox, orthodoxy does not mean understanding what Paul meant by, for example, "justification" in the same way Calvin and Luther understood it, because frankly their understanding of the first century church and first century Judaism was not as strong as that we can reconstruct using contemporary methods. Bishop Wright is probably closer to Paul's original authorial intent than any other scholar.
