New perspective
I'm doing a bit of reading on heresies at the moment. Got a bit confused with the so called New Perspective on Paul. Is anyone able to give a nice short punchy statement that essentially describes the new perspective on Paul?
Sorry Graham I haven't paid it as much attention as I probably should have. However Mikey knows a guy (a doctor) who reads a lot of theology and has taken an interest in it, ask him for his email.
Graham. I did an Mth unit on it earlier in the year.
Let's just say that whether or not I understand it depends on how much sleep I've had and whether the sun is shining. Sometimes I think I've got it nailed. Other times the fog descends and I'm flummoxed by it.
There are no 2 "new perspective" advocate who agree on it either. So it's probably better to call it the "new perspectives."
I can swing you some stuff on it if you really want.

Thanks guys
It does appear to be one of those things. I know where to go for some extra ammo.
