Synopsis

N. T. Wright, a world-renowned New Testament scholar and bishop in the Church of England, has spent years seeking "new" interpretations of the apostle Paul's writings. Among his conclusions are that "the discussions of justification in much of the history of the church certainly since Augustine got off on the wrong foot, at least in terms of understanding Paul and they have stayed there ever since." // According to Piper, Wright's confidence that the church has gotten it wrong for 1,500 years, given his enormous influence, set off warning bells for Christian leaders such as himself, a pastor and New Testament scholar. According to Piper, if Wright's views find a home in the church, not only could the doctrine of justification be distorted for generations to come but the New Testament writers' original intent could be silenced. This book is a call from John Piper to all Christians, citing his warnings against "fresh" interpretations of the Bible and his plea to hold fast to what he considers the biblical view of justification.

I read this book neither as a John Piper fanboy nor as an N.T. Wright critic. I read it as someone who has benefited from the work of both men and who wants to get justification right.

Goodreads review by Bret

John Piper has written a book critiquing the views of N.T. Wright primarily regarding justification. I would first point out that Piper has done so in an engaging and non-hostile manner. He is concerned about some of Wright's views, but does not attack Wright himself. N.T. Wright is a renowned theol......more

Goodreads review by Mark

My second time through this book was probably even more helpful than my first time through. It is obvious that Piper isn't out to win a debate--he truly believes that true and right doctrine is being attacked by the New Perspective on Paul and he provides a very helpful response to this way of think......more

Goodreads review by Parker

N.T Wright?? More like N.T WRONG 🔥🥴 I kid But no seriously this book was great. Ever since taking Shriners New Testament 2, the new perspective on Paul has been something that’s been a little vague and fuzzy in my understanding. This book helped me see that part of the reason that is, is because the......more
