Tom Wright, the Bishop of Durham, a world renowned scholar on Paul, wrote this in response to an accusation by American pastor John Piper that Wright’s teaching on justification was so ‘disfigured’ that it becomes ‘difficult to recognise as biblically faithful’. Wright is a joy to read; he uses clear analogies, interacts with the reader, has ‘Paul like’ anticipation of counter claims, and provides timely reminders of where we are in the argument. His gracious exasperation with Piper and others is clear, as he exposes their theological prejudice in reading scripture. It all makes for a ‘terrific explanation of Paul’s flow of thought in his letter to the Romans – a written masterclass,’ according to CWR tutor Andy Peck.
