What's all this about, and why does it matter? -- Rules of engagement -- First-century Judaism : covenant, law, and lawcourt -- Justification : definitions and puzzles -- Galatians -- Interlude : Philippians, Corinthians, Ephesians -- Romans -- Conclusion.
Here in one place Wright now offers a comprehensive account and defense of his perspective on this crucial doctrine. He provides a sweeping overview of the central points in the debate before launching into a thorough explanation of the key texts in Paul's writings. While fully cognizant of tradition and controversy, the final authority for his conclusions is the letters of Paul themselves. Along the way Wright responds to critics, such as John Piper, who have challenged what has come to be called the New Perspective.--From publisher description.
