In the thirty years since its inception, the so-called New Perspective on Paul (NPP) has attracted both eager followers as well as vehement critics for its treatment of the gospel. Some of the most trenchant criticisms have come from scholars, often of the Reformed tradition, who allege that the New Perspective undermines the traditional doctrine of "justification by faith." My aim, then, is to assess the proposals of leading New Perspective scholars N.T. Wright and James D.G. Dunn in order to better understand just what they have done with justification. (And this is only meant to be a kind of ‘readers' introduction; for me, it was important to come to an understanding of the essential argument so that I could engage faithfully with recent New Testament theology, I hope it might serve the same purpose for you). In my read of things, it becomes quickly apparent that the new understanding of Paul around the issue of justification, far from undermining the gospel, actually encourages a richer and fuller understanding of the gospel and its implications for people of faith.
