You’re St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |
You’re St. Justin Martyr! You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected places. You’re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

Excellent review! I definitely think I will have to add "Introducing Paul" to my library ;-D. I am particularly excited to see your synthesis of the NPP and the Reformed tradition, because I am indebted to both Piper and Wright in my theological thinking.
Shame that he doesn't hold the same view on Romans 7, though. I posted this on one of your older threads, but it fits here as well. I saw your take on Romans 7 at Justin Taylor's blog, and I think you hit the nail on the head. And re: the "two fighting wolves" story, I wrote a new parable of "two wolves" to fit a "new creation" reading of Romans 7. I'd be interested to hear your take on it =D. You can find it at:
