It&#8217;s an excellent article.  He is a interesting scholar with a lot of insights into the New Testament.  He has some problems with his theology and his view of Scriptures but he also has some great insight into understanding the fulfillment of the promises made to Israel through Christ.  Christ became the true Israel and fulfilled what they were supposed to be.  My OT professor shared with us Wright&#8217;s interpretation of Romans 2 in light of the promises made to Israel in the new covenant and it really helped me to understand it better (more on that after my final).<br \/>\nI know that some of you might act negatively to his name but if your theology is firmly in place, then you can read a variety of books and not worry about being lead astray.  I have been helped to understand the Scriptures more fully by liberals, feminists, conservatives, Roman Catholics, Jews (OT of course :-), etc.  I appreciate their insight into what the Bible says but don&#8217;t have to hold to their conclusions.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><br \/>\nUpdated:<\/span> Note to self, when posting a link to anything related to Wright just put it on the altar and back away so as not to offend the hordes \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nThose of you who would disagree with my original post might want to look at this from another angle, I know that plenty of people view Wright negatively and maybe I don&#8217;t want any labels associated with me.
