What's wrong with the “Romans Road” to salvation?

Gospel and salvation Romans Steven Opp is an evangelist. Remarkably, he has read my book The Future of the People of God—I imagine he is the only “evangelist” to have done so—and he wants to know whether the narrative-historical reading of Romans can be reconciled with traditional approaches

More on the justification of Gentiles who do good works

Eschatology Romans I really like this comment from Steven Opp—first, because it gives me an opportunity to address in a bit more detail the relation between the justification of Gentiles on the basis of what they have done and the justification of the people of God by faith; and secondly, be

Why are the nations in the new heaven and new earth?

Eschatology The popular view is that when Christians die, they go to heaven to be with God for ever and ever. This is a sub-biblical notion that has to some extent been corrected in recent years, thanks not least to Tom Wright. We are now much more likely to recognize that the biblical narrati

Revelation, the Book of, and the defeat of pagan empire

Eschatology We had a very interesting session on the Book of Revelation in Harlesden last Tuesday evening. The big hermeneutical question it raised, in my view, is whether we live in the story it tells or after the story it tells. Barney suggested that we live in it and compared its complex al

Where I stand on Reformed theology, Calvinism and the doctrines of grace

Reformed theology This question was put to me via the contact form. It’s brief and I’m not entirely sure where it’s coming from. My guess is that the questioner is from a Calvinist background and wants to know whether my writings are safe to read, but I could be wrong, and it doesn’t much affe

Christendom Kingdom of God Wright, How God Became King A four hour ferry journey across Lake Van gives me the opportunity to write up some reflections on chapter seven of Tom Wright’s How God Became King, in which he describes how the clash between God and Caesar plays out in the story

Wright and the mission of the early church

Mission and evangelism Wright, How God Became King Chapter 6 of Tom Wright’s How God Became King: The Forgotten Story of the Gospels is entitled “The Launching of God’s Renewed People”. I read it on a rather scary bus ride through the mountains from Diyarbakir to Tatvan on the western ed

Wright and the divinity of Jesus

Jesus Wright, How God Became King In order to distinguish his own approach from well-meaning but misguided attempts to prove that Jesus was divine, Wright argues in How God Became King: The Forgotten Story of the Gospels that the Gospels do not aim to prove Jesus’ divinity; rather they p

Wright and the rescue of creation

Gospel and salvation Wright, How God Became King Yesterday we made it all the way from Dubai to Duhok, in what used to be Assyria, via Abu Dhabi and Erbil. All in all a rather uneventful journey. I got a good 80 pages into Wright’s How God Became King: The Forgotten Story of the Gospels,

Does the King Jesus gospel breed historical complacency?

Jesus Kingdom of God Wright, How God Became King I have downloaded Tom Wright’s new book How God Became King: The Forgotten Story of the Gospels and plan to read it as we travel through northern Iraq and eastern Turkey on our way home from Dubai. I am not expecting any great surprises—
