Some of my beliefs were never challenged until relatively recently. Some of them are solidified when they dialogue with differing views, but others are weighed and found wanting when they finally face some scrutiny.I like that NT Wright's What Saint Paul Really Said challenges the popular view of Paul's theology, but I especially like that it does so by re-examining the 1st century character instead of re-aligning that character with 21st century opinions.
It'll take me some time (and probably a couple more NT Wright books) to more fully consider implications of this book, but I can say immediately that his thoughts resonated with my previous suspicions.
