• St. Paul on the Imputation of Christs Active Obedience

  
  De Regnis Duobus: Cult, Culture, and the Christian's Dual Citizenship — Authority: 411
  OK, we have given N.T. Wright the floor for our last handful of posts, it is now time to take it back. For confessional Reformed believers, the biggest obstacle to a “new perspective” reading of Paul is Wright’s denial that Jesus’ life of obedient law-keeping is reckoned to the sinner in justification. ...

• Cracked argument, rhetorical questions and women witnesses at the tomb

  
  Vridar — Authority: 417
  A wisdom-pearl in Dennett’s Darwin’s Dangerous Idea reminded me of a host of gossamer arguments regularly touted by fundamenatists (not only Christian or religious fundamentalists, either).I advise my philosophy students to develop hypersensitivity for rhetorical questions in philosophy. They paper over whatever ...

• Exile

  
  A Living Text — Authority: 418
  Writing a few years ago, James Jordan discussed the theme of exile in the Bible. His thoughts follow: Someone asked about the reservations some of us have about Wright’s exile-theology. Here are a few thoughts: 1. The Ur-exile was from the Garden of Eden. From that perspective, all of Old Creation history takes ...

• N.T. Wright on Predestination

  
  A Living Text — Authority: 418
  In Wright’s commentary on Romans, he says: “Foreknowledge is a form of love or grace; to speak thus is to speak of God’s reaching out, in advance of anything the person may do or think, to reveal love and to solicit an answering love, to reveal a particular purpose and to call forth obedience to it…More ...

• Jesus’ Death and the Temple in the Gospel of Mark

  
  The Theological Ramblings of an Anglican Ordinand — Authority: 412
  The Death of Jesus in the Gospel of MarkThe purpose of my last few months of research is to explore, within the narrative of the gospel of Mark, the link between Jesus’ death and the Temple.  This link is clearly to be seen at the surface level of the passion narratives where the  Temple and [...]

  God's Politics Blog — Authority: 640
  People who do diversity work run the risk of setting impossible goals for themselves: The Beloved Community. The Kingdom of God. Unity among all tribes, nations, peoples, and languages . Sometimes people use the impossible idealism of these goals as an…

• Wright on Using Formed Prayers

  
  caf de soire — Authority: 417
  I grew up (and largely remain in, as this is characteristic of large swathes of evangelicalism) a tradition that placed a high value on a persons ability to pray on the spot. A sign of spiritual maturity was that you could say something unique and profound every time you prayed, even if the prayers often became ...

• Church Signs

  
  PreacherMike — Authority: 414
  As a charter member of the Ban the Inane Messages on Church Signs Committee, I could do without them all. Too trite. Too cute. Too annoying. Too self-assured. Too unfunny (”Seven days without prayer makes one weak.”) Most are like flashing neon signs: “Looking for shallow answers to deep mysteries? Try ...

• Wright on Justification, Part Four: Christology

  
  De Regnis Duobus: Cult, Culture, and the Christian's Dual Citizenship — Authority: 411
  As we have been seeing, N.T. Wright insists that the doctrine of justification must be approached from four distinct but related angles. We have looked at the first three ( lawcourt , covenant , and eschatology ), and in this post we’ll consider the fourth: Christology . . According to Wright, Christology ...

• Evil and the Justice of God

  
  The Eagle & Child — Authority: 121
  From N.T. Wright’s Evil and the Justice of God : It is not enough to say that God will eventually make a new world in which there will be no more pain and crying; that does scant justice to all the evil that has gone before. We cannot get to the full solution to the problem of evil by mere progress, as though, ...

• “Defined by the worship of God” N.T. Wright

  
  Tolle Lege — Authority: 128
  “Christians are not defined by skin colour, by gender, by geographical location, or even, shockingly, by their good behaviour. Nor are they defined by the particular type of religious feelings they may have. They are defined in terms of the God they worship . That’s why we say the Creed at the heart of our ...

• The Impact of Background Literature

  
  Quadrilateral Thoughts — Authority: 469
  I am teaching a course on "Intertestamental Literature" this semester. I do not believe you need to be able to read the New Testament in its historical context to read it as Christian Scripture and Gods living word to believers today. But it seems impossible to understand what these books actually meant without some ...

• N.T. Wright Interprets “Flesh” for Everyone

  
  New Leaven — Authority: 545
  In two recent posts, we explored the meaning of sarx (“flesh” in ESV, NRSV, and “sinful nature” in T/NIV and NLT) as used by Paul.  We even had Wayne Leman, a professional linguist and translator of Better Bibles , going back and forth with Kyle Phillilps here . Well, I decided to consult a Paulinist on ...

  PreacherMike — Authority: 414
  “Precisely because Jesus Christ rose from the dead, God’s new world has already broken in to the present and Christian work for justice in the present, for instance, in the ongoing campaigns for debt remission and ecological responsibility, take the shape they do. If Jesus left his body behind in the tom and if ...

• Is N.T. Wright smacking down Jim West or what?

  
  metalepsis — Authority: 103
  In a quote from N.T. Wrights short rebuttal to the CT piece that claims he is at fault for the protestant exodus to Rome, Wright has this to say: "It reminds me of the fine old German NT scholar Heinrich Schlier, who found that the only way to be a Protestant was to be a Bultmannian, so, because he couldn’t ...
