Justification

Michael Gorman links to a useful article, written by Andy Johnson of Nazarene Seminary, overviewing three recent proposals about justification in Paul (Wright, Campbell, and Gorman). Have a read. If any of my students read this post, that article will be worth bearing in mind to help you understand some themes for your essay on Galatians!

Your students might want to look at the Readibility bookmarklet (http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/) before they try and read that wall of text ... just saying.

It's a nice article, but the caricature of the "traditional view" is hard for a Lutheran to recognize. After all, for (confessional) Lutherans regeneration is coterminal with baptism and justification is probably coterminal with faith, not conversion.

I wonder whether the truth is not that all of these theories are correct in what they affirm and wrong in what they deny.
