Latimer Lunches - the 2009 programme

Our lunches are an opportunity, with a Guest Speaker, to encourage one another in Gospel ministry by our fellowship together

26 June - Rev Peter Collier on 'The New Perspective on Paul: a Brief Critique'

For about 30 years in the academic world, a ‘new persective’ has been taken on the Apostle Paul’s writings. This ‘new perspective’ challenges the understanding which the Reformers had about the centrality of Justification by Faith in Paul’s writings, and the nature of our justification. It is therefore extremely significant. Bishop Tom Wright of Durham is one of the key proponents of this New Perspective. But what exactly is the New Perspective? And what should we think of it? These were the questions I wrestled with on study leave by doing a Masters paper on ‘Paul and Justification’.
