A primer on the justification debate

2009 June 28

by Tim Chester

Christianity Today have published online a table from their June 2009 edition by Trevin Wax that summarises the debate over the new perspective on Paul and justification. Following their recent books interacting with each other’s ideas, John Piper and Tom Wright represent the two sides of the discussion. Here are the books in question …

John Piper, The Future of Justification

Tom Wright, Justification: God’s Plan and Paul’s Vision

See also Tom Wright, What Saint Paul Really Said, especially chapter 7

For my own take on the topic see my article ‘Justification, Ecclesiology and the New Perspective’ which was published in Themelios and which is available online here.

Thanks for this – FWIW, Don Carson has done a series of 3 talks at RTS in the States on the New Perspectives – very helpful and insightful as ever:
