Interesting point is that Paul would actually stress orthodoxy for the very reason that he felt orthodoxy affects orthopraxy. So that comment is interesting.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05803929859394857413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862891546499621367.post-66078601366911046672009-01-30T16:07:00.000-08:002009-01-30T16:07:00.000-08:00You have some good insights.

We are concerned with 'the gospel of the kingdom' moreso than the restricted gospel of 'the romans road.' (this is not to suggest that i am not in favor of personal salvation...because i know what it is to be saved from personal sin!!!) What i am saying is that it is important that we read Paul through the lens of Jesus rather than read Jesus after we figure out our pauline theology. NT Wright is by far my favorite scholar, but i also want to say that he is in no way emergent when it comes to praxis.Kurt Willemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378647876158657549noreply@blogger.com
