In my New Testament 2 class at Fuller Theological Seminary, my big ‘aha’ (I usually hit one per class) was experiencing for the first time the New Perspective on Paul (NP). For those of us who are Reformed in our theology, the NP is initially a slap in the face. So I wrote a paper on it. Click the image to the right to download the PDF. Also, here are some good links on the NP, I would watch/read them in the order presented below:
- Tom Wright & James Dunn The New Perspective on Paul (youtube, 11 min)
- The New Perspective on Paul (theopedia.com)
- The NP: Introduction and Summary (logos.com)
- Doctrine of Salvation Part 14: The New Perspective on Paul (William Craig, youtube.com)
- The New Perspective on Paul: Its Basic Tenets, History, and Presuppositions (The Master’s Journal)
- The Doctrine of Justification and the New Perspectives on Paul (Ligonier Ministries)
