Justified Saint Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 Anyways, I don't claim to know much about it either but from what I have read N.T. Wright (a Protestant) has a lot of Protestants worked up and that is always fun. One big focus of NPism is the doctrine of justification and Wright basically asserts that sola fide is not the central, core belief of Christianity and it actually isn't even correct. Obedience and faith to the covenant is what justification is about - sounds very Catholic to me.

Wright[/url] This book is kind of like an introduction to NPism - as far as I can tell at least, I haven't read it. The reviews are interesting - especially the one entitled "The end of Protestantism" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
