N.T. Wright ushers in the much needed revolution of biblical thought for the 21st century. His "Fresh Perspective" on Paul will definitely incite rebuke among those who are committed to reformed theology. Wright offers the church an amazing gift of original Pauline thought. His claims are consistent with what we know of 1st century Judaism and his scholarship brings together the Old and New Testaments. God's covenantal faithfulness is at last fully displayed through Jesus the Messiah. Wright causes his readers to rethink ekklesia and presses them to view the problem of evil in an entirely different manner. What is God doing about evil? He is setting apart a people for himself. Because of the Messiah... this set apart people is accomplishing God's purpose for creation and displaying to the world he keeps his promises! This book will for sure be one of the most influential writings of the 21st century.
