![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Perhaps in an attempt to distinguish himself from the (admittedly oft unexamined) theological tradition, Wright comes out with stark denials of clear and widely accepted Christian tradition. This, I presume, is one source of Wright's negative press in some circles. Also very helpful in summarizing scholarly debates and perspectives on a variety of issues surrounding authorship and dating of each NT book.įunny thing, though: Michael Bird has gone on record a number of times saying that the New Perspective on Paul is generally "correct in what it affirms, but often wrong in what it denies." (For example, see this interview.) However, despite Bird's herculean effort at condensing Wright's corpus into a single volume, he does not escape this inscrutable flaw of making all kinds of puzzling denials. Very clear and helpful on the historical background of the NT world. ![]()
