Description
Summary:WHILE I AGREE with Wright that we need to push the ongoing debate regarding transformationism to its theological roots, and while I find his reconstruction of some aspects of Pauline theology interesting, I do not believe that his focus on God's covenant with believers is relevant to the problem at issue. The focus should instead be on God's covenant with nature and His covenant with all peoples of this world. I further argue that Wright does not differ from me as much as he thinks, as I am not simply a reconstructionist. Indeed, it seems to me that there is truth in each of compatibilism, reconstructionism and transformationism.
