Reformed Churchmen

We are Confessional Calvinists and a Prayer Book Church-people. In 2012, we remembered the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer; also, we remembered the 450th anniversary of John Jewel's sober, scholarly, and Reformed "An Apology of the Church of England." In 2013, we remembered the publication of the "Heidelberg Catechism" and the influence of Reformed theologians in England, including Heinrich Bullinger's Decades. For 2014: Tyndale's NT translation. For 2015, John Roger, Rowland Taylor and Bishop John Hooper's martyrdom, burned at the stakes. Books of the month.

N.T. Wright, the Reformation, and the Gospel

N.T. Wright, the Reformation, and the Gospel

Well, I just wonder what Wright and Co. do with "The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many" (Mk. 10:45). Or, since Wright works mostly on Paul, "Him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him." (II Cor. 5:21).

Now, I have no quarrel that Paul was bothered by the "nationalism" of the First Church of the Hebrews or whatever vis-a-vis the Gentile believers, but one reason why he is so concerned is that both Jew and Gentile share a common redemption in Christ.

This whole article this post links to is like a game of 'telephone' gone horribly wrong. Save yourself a few minutes and avoid it. The blog is summarizing points of an author who has jumped to extreme and erroneous conclusions about Wright, the Reformation, and Christian faith. I encourage everyone to read Wright for themselves. I suggest 'Simply Christian'.
