Reading Now: Piper and Wright

Reading two books at the same time that should prove to be really instructive or send me hurtling into a deep theological vortex from which I may never recover.

John Piper’s  The Future of Justification is on my Kindle. (Amazon seems to like Piper, as almost anything  he does goes right to Kindle) Piper says that while N.T. is not preaching “another gospel” (Gal. 1:8-9) he is portraying the doctrine of justification in such a way that is “sodisfigured that it becomes difficult to recognize as Biblically faithful.” Piper will proceed to clarify what he views as the correct doctrine of justification. As for Wright, his Justification, recently released and so far only available in harback, is a response he wrote to Piper’s work to clarify his stand on justification. From what I’ve read in the introduction, Wright’s view is not that Piper’s stand on how justification occurs is not wrong, but rather insufficent to communicate the vast implications of the saving work of Christ. I hope that reading them together will be a blessing and not a burden.
