Review
"Justification remains a well-written, persuasive articulation of Wright's position, littered throughout with flashes of brilliant exegetical insight, which deserves to be read by everyone interested in the debate, friend and foe alike." (Alexander Stewart, Biblical Theology Bulletin, Volume 41, 2011)"...N.T. wright's Justification is well worth reading. It's not a light read and may take some effort, but it is about one of the ocre issues of our faith, and touches on something that is both a contemporary issue and one that concerned the lifes of Paul and Martin Luter. Wherever you fall in the argument, Wright's position is worth knowing." (Paul Metzloff, Trinity Seminary Review, Winter 2011)"Wright's work is brilliant, so full of inter-textual allusions and quotes that one can only stand in awe of the final product!" (Susan K. Hedahl, Currents, Winter 2011)"Whether you are a scholar or lay teacher, if you want to learn more about the New Perspective on Paul and N.T. Wright's views on justification, Justification is an important work." (Michael Makidon, Journal of the Grace Evangelical Society)"Wright is a versatile author, able to reach both academic and popular audiences. Justification will appeal to academic readers and serious students of theology." (C. Brian Smith, Christian Retailing, June 8, 2009)"For those interested in this ongoing debate regarding justification, this book offers an introduction to the overall debate, as well as a detailed biblical-exegetical understanding of Wright's onwn position." (Mary L. VandenBerg, Calvin Theological Journal, April 2010)"Wright offers a passionate and stimulating treatment of the core of Paul's theology. . .Both an engaging exploration of Paul's theology and alively defense of his own approach to what in some circles is regarded as the heart of Christian doctrine." (Daniel J. Harrington, S.J., American, March 8, 2010)"Justification is likely to become his most controversial book to date, for it offers a fundamentally new reading of a doctrine at the center of Protestant and evangelical theology." (Douglas Harink, Christian Century, December 1, 2009)"Wright is pretty succinct in his argument. Wright's perspective falls in line with what is commonly referred to as the new perspective on Paul. Because, in Wright's mind, this perspective is much older than other conceptions. Put simply, it is an approach to Paul from within the interpretive context of Paul's original, Jewish milieu. Wright, and others on the same "quest" have argued that we have missed much of what Paul was getting at because we failed to read him through the original lens." (Darren King, Precipice (precipicemagazine.com), July 2009)"Wright does provide a vision of justification that - perhaps not surprisingly - is more in touch with the understanding of the 17th century Mennonite church than it is with Reformed theology. This is a great book." (Young Anabaptist Radicals (young.anabaptistradicals.org), June 14, 2009)

As far as I know, this is the one place where Wright has gathered together and synthesized his understanding of justification, although nothing in here is new. Written in response to his critics (specifically John Piper, who wrote a book specifically to demonstrate everything he thinks is wrong about Wright's claims), there are little jabs throughout the book at those critics, generally and particularly, who (in his mind, at least) have misunderstood his claims and have wrongly accused him of downplaying the role of faith and taking the focus off of what Jesus did on the cross. His rebuttal, basically, is that these people have all misunderstood him--and, more importantly, misunderstood (a) Paul and (b) the larger, more integrated story the Bible tells that includes Jesus's work as the climax. What makes this book helpful is that he is trying very hard to be super-clear about what he is and is not claiming, and based entirely on his exegesis of Pauline literature.The little jabs and pokes at these people (who he names as he goes along, usually because they have explicitly attacked him) could come across as petty and unprofessional; however, to any of us who have heard criticisms of Wright coming from a place of misunderstanding (usually by fellow Christians of the Reformed persuasion) and inwardly sigh (yet again!) because we see how Wright's understanding of the Bible puzzle really makes SO MUCH SENSE (out of Paul, the Gospels, the whole New Testament really, and therefore the Bible and our current situation as Christians), and is so clearly NOT an attempt to make Jesus' death and resurrection less important than it is (quite the opposite, actually), these little push-backs are a breath of fresh air.This book is for someone who (a) wants to actually understand what Wright really thinks about justification, its trinitarian nature, and covenant theology (especially if they have heard negative things about him from other preachers/writers); (b) wants to understand how the ideas about justification in Paul build on and revise what people (Jews and Gentiles) understood about justification in the time period in which he was writing (the first century AD)--i.e., the actual context; (c) grew up as a Christian, or has read much of the Bible, and finds that what they have been taught about salvation and justification seems to be missing something--and is willing to try a new idea on and see if it makes more sense of the whole Bible than what they learned growing up.That last reason was why I started reading N.T. Wright in the first place about 10 years ago. I say this to anyone who thinks that Wright is some kind of liberal who wants to knock out the foundation of traditional Protestant teaching--a saboteur, the enemy within. Nothing could be further from the truth. To me, Wright's thoughts--always based on Scripture, always arising out of an understanding of what it meant in its context--make more sense out of the Bible than the framework I developed growing up as a Christian. My support for Wright developed NOT because I think he helps me get around what the Bible says, but because I think he helps me actually understand what the Bible says, and without first imposing some kind of doctrinal filter. He really tries to get at what the text meant to the person who was writing it.So if you are someone, Christian or not, who is unwilling to compare your current understanding--or creed--with the whole body of Scripture--not just prooftexts--and see if it really makes the most sense out of what the texts meant by their authors--if you are unwilling to do this, than this book is not for you. But then again, neither is the Bible. For everyone else, especially anyone who has heard bad things about Wright but has not yet read anything from the man himself, I think this would be a very helpful book for you.
N.T. Wright is a prophet in our time. This book has the potential to heal the Catholic/Protestant split. Luther and Calvin were simply wrong about Paul's message in Romans because they didn't have the heightened ability to study the 1st century Jewish thought (therefore, Paul's thought) as we do now due to our access to many more extant writings and several hundred more years of study. This is not a Catholic book at all, and if fact Wright criticizes the Catholic Church a few times, but if the Protestants were to embrace this thought, the rift in soteriology becomes a small stream as opposed to an ocean. If the Jews of the AD 30's saw God's plan for Israel with an economy of Grace as Wright describes, then the Old Testament and purpose of the Church becomes relevant in a way no one outside the pre-reformation churches have ever imagined...
This is what I liked about it: it was polemical. It was a scholarly fight without mincing words but without being a jerk. The digs were good digs because they were backed by a mutual concern for the exegesis of the text. THE TEXT! I have read several of NT Wright's books and I've enjoyed them immensely, even when I have disagreed with them immensely. In this case, I feel like the powerful prose of John Piper could not withstand the biblical rhetoric of NT Wright.Two Protestants arguing over Justification is not a new thing. NT Wright was steeped in Reformed theology coming up in the ranks of the Anglican Church and as a theologian. Piper, of course, is a Reformed Baptist preacher in Minnesota. But NT Wright's involvement in the so-called "New Perspective on Paul" which should rather be called "A New Perspective on the Law in Second Temple Judaism", and his fidelity to Christian orthodoxy as defined by the early councils of the Church, creates a far deeper understanding of Paul's argument in Romans and Galatians.I have benefitted greatly from the polemical style precisely because the polemics lead to clarity, razor sharp clarity.The only downside of this book is the exegesis of Romans without having the quotes there. Chapter and Verse is great, but I wish the publisher used alternate indentation and typeface to plop the Scripture in there as NT is hammering away, referring to this or that verse without actually quoting it. Sure, I know, I should have had my bible with me and read them myself, but come on. I'm lazy.It was a great read and made me think deeper about these issues. And NT Wright knows how to turn a phrase and weave excellent analogies throughout. Highly enjoyable.Don't read this if you have never touched upon Protestant theology of Justification before, or Reformed in particular. You'll be lost when doctrine gets assumed.
I found the book very fascinating and engaging. It was a good read except for getting bogged down in the many technical nuances of Wright's explanations concerning his Law Court theory. Since this book is a response to John Piper's book, "The Future of Justification," Wright spends much of the book explaining where Piper is wrong, and he is right (no pun intended). Although I really agree with the NT Wright that Paul must be read in the context of a first century Judean Christian. I found him to be very technical in his Law Court explanation but I do see his logic. I sharply disagree with his assessment that Paul was not as concerned with individual salvation as he was concerning the big picture of Israel and Gentile eschatological salvation. Or else why ask at all, "What must I do to be saved?" If it is more about being a christian than becoming one.Despite my nitpicking, it is a thought provoking theological book that, in my opinion, is worth reading. 3 and 1/2 stars for me.
