Another Take on N.T. Wright and the New Perspective

By Mark Horne

PCANews - Editor:

I would like to write a response to Dr. Doug Kelly's unhappy essay that purports to include a description of N. T. Wright’s position on justification. Sadly, it will be a while before I can write in a civil manner.

So in the meantime, I think it is right to point out a few articles that are publicly available.

First, Wright has written a brief essay describing his views that I think bears reading: http://www.angelfire.com/mi2/paulpage/Shape.html

Secondly, there are two PCA ministers in good standing who have written about N. T. Wright and their conclusions are rather different from Dr. Kelly. One is by Travis Tamerius, the pastor of Christ our King Church in Columbia, Mo.: http://www.hornes.org/theologia/content/travis_tamerius/n_t_wright_evangelical_theology.htm

The second is by Rich Lusk the assistant pastor at Auburn Avenue Presbyterian Church in Monroe, La.: http://www.hornes.org/theologia/content/rich_lusk/a_short_note_on_n_t_wright_his_reformed_critics.htm

Finally, I've written a short introductory essay about the New Perspective and its implications (or lack thereof): http://www.hornes.org/theologia/content/mark_horne/perspective_on_the_new_perspective.htm

TE Mark Horne, pastor of First Reformed Presbyterian Church in Minco, Okla.

    THE MOVIE: "THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST": EDIFYING OR IDOLATROUS?

    "The Passion of the Christ," Mel Gibson's movie of the last 12 hours of Christ, has generated much discussion on a number of levels in the media and culture. Within the Christian community the reception of the movie has generally been favorable. The discussion in the Christian community has been on areas like the faithfulness of the movie to the text of the Gospels and the propriety of a man playing the role of Jesus. This last issue raises the question of the meaning and application of the 2nd Commandment.

     

    Our present discussion has a number of questions: How should this movie be understood and defined? Is it edifying or idolatrous? Are there other issues to consider about this movie? You are invited to participate by reading and responding to these and other issues on the movie.
