Paul Eddy and James Beilby are the editors of a forthcoming volume with IVP (tentatively) entitled: "Justification: Five Views". The contributors are:
1. Traditional Reformed: Michael Horton
2. Progressive Reformed: Michael Bird
3. 'New Perspective': James Dunn
4. Theosis: Veli-Matti Karkkainen
5. Catholic: Gerald O'Collins & Oliver Rafferty
This, perhaps with the exception of # 2, looks like a pretty impressive cast of characters. I certainly would pay good money to see Jimmy Dunn, Gerald Collins, and Michael Horton talk Pauline theology over a beer and a bag of cashews. So keep an eye out for this one in the future!

ReplyDeleteDr. Bird,
ReplyDeleteThis looks great and I cannot wait! Is 'Progressive Reformed' going to become the new moniker for those in the Bird/Watson/semi-Wright path?
How come the papists got two contributor? I smell a Jesuit stitch-up.

ReplyDeleteIt's a way of evening out the field, like spotting them a few points . . .
Exiled,
ReplyDeleteThere are three protestant contributors. I think that is more than evenly balanced.
The "Jesuit plot" thing was just a silly joke. Looks like an ineresting book.

ReplyDeleteDaniel,
ReplyDeleteI doubt that Wright or Watson want to be known as "progressive Reformed". I would like to call it the "Pauline Perspective" but no doubt everyone claims that title to their perspective. I like to think of my perspective as "Reformed" in so far as it attempts to follow the voice of Scripture.
