Perspectives Old and New on Paul: The "Lutheran" Paul and His Critics
Currents in Theology and Mission, Oct, 2005 by Edgar Krentz
> Stephen Westerholm's Perspectives Old and New on Paul: The "Lutheran" Paul and His Critics (Eerdmans, $35) calls into question the so-called "new perspective" on Paul. After summarizing Augustine, Luther, Calvin, and Wesley's interpretation of Paul, i.e., justification by faith because God declares sinners righteous apart from works (the "Lutheran" interpretation), he traces twentieth-century evaluations of the "Lutheran Paul." He then turns to justification and the law in Paul's thought to conclude that the stress on Judaism and Paul in the "new perspective" does not rule out the stress on "grace abounding to sinners." A massive rewrite of his earlier Israel's Law and the Church's Faith: Paul and His Recent Interpreters (Eerdmans, 1988), this is an important book that deserves reading by pastors.
