John Piper Challenges N. T. Wright on Justification

November 5, 2007

On Friday I introduced a series on John Piper’s response to N. T. Wright in The Future of Justification. We saw that to Piper the most critical difference between N. T.

Wright Quotes That Affirm Penal Substitutionary Atonement

April 28, 2007

Justin Taylor helpfully points to some quotes from N. T.Wright that seem to clearly affirm a penal substitutionary view of the atonement. I am left, though, with two questions from the article Wright published earlier in the week. 1. Why then does he respond so very negatively to the new book Pierced For Our Transgressions? [...]
