Tom Wright's rearticulation of the New Testament theology of the gospel and justification by faith has exerted significant influence amongst scholars and the wider Christian public. John Piper offers a fruitful engagement with, and critique of, Wright's position. 'This book is a model of how theological disagreements should be handled, and the reader is reminded time and again to what extent the gospel itself stands or falls on this issue. In comparing the works of Tom Wright to the text of the apostle Paul's letters Dr. Piper lifts us above the controversies of the moment and shows us again how the glorious mercy of God was revealed to us in Jesus Christ. It is essential reading for every pastor and theological student and will be a major contribution to our understanding of what the great apostle really said.'
