How puritanical (in the negative sense of the word) can some of us be, that we would not read or recommend a brother like Tom Wright? Let him/her who is without (doctrinal) sin throw the first stone.

I have studied Theology for many years but was not Born Again, now I see the purity and truth of the Gospel of Chrsit and am provoked by false teaching.it seems there are many ordained church men who know in part but who have not know true conversion. I have heard Tom Wright speak and I was shocked at his liberal views and Replacement Theology regarding Israel. Reading his understanding in Simply Goodnews I doubt he really understands the heart of the Good News, the Cross of Christ and the finished work of Redemption, not a process but finished, that is glorious Good News, the fact we must work out our salvation does not equate to Redemption being a process, I wonder if Tom Wright really ‘gets’ the cross, I didn’t for decades until the Grace of God opened my eyes.

It doesn’t work to say we can discern heresy because other orthodox Christians will see it otherwise. Its time to engage the brain, not feelings. The Spirit can often speak more clearly to an active and engaged mind rather than one shut off. And Piper just excommunicated hamburgers, so not too sure he’s a great mind leading the way to strong churches.

He’s a heretic! He’s dangerous! He’s a Christian theologian and he’s smarter than you, so let’s humbly listen and learn.

Consider – Wright is talking about the idolatry of empire and its incompatibility with the Kingdom… the USA is an empire… many USA Christians consider patriotism part central to their identity… it seems clear that this is (at least part of) the reason many USA Christians struggle with Wright.

Maybe also consider the phenomena of group think.

When y’all actually understand the man, come back and crucify him then; at least scapegoat the man for what he believes, not for what you think he believes.

No history, no context, no grasp of culture, language, or anything but the 19th-century American dispensational fundamentalism that poses as orthodox historical Christianity.

His position on Justification has been astonishingly misunderstood and all I can say is that his books here in England have converted more people to the Christian Faith than anything else since the death of CS Lewis. It saddens me to see this holy man being attacked by reformed christians in the US when they don’t understand what he’s saying.

Really, you should check it out, it’s wonderful, and the writer is infallible!! Look, Paul said in 1 Corinthians chapter 2, verses 1-2, “And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.” Now go out and spread THAT good news!! That’s what a saved person’s purpose is. That’s what we a called to do. Right? All this other quarrelling is such a waste of time, such a diversion.
