Many who have embraced “the New Perspective on Paul” are also proposing a different slant on the doctrine of justification by faith. When the text of Scripture is interpreted in the new light, they say, Pauline support for the principle of sola fide [faith alone], the doctrine of imputation, and the distinction between law and [...]

I [have] argued that methods are not neutral: either humans can come to the true God by any means that they see fit or God restricts the means by which we can come to Him.

Paul asserted that Christ delivers all believers from the eternal wrath of God. This means that they may wait for the return of Christ with confident hope: For they themselves report concerning us the kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true [...]
