Are you saying that Wright disagrees with Paul, or that the tradition understanding of Paul is wrong?

Tom
Is that a serious question? hahaha

Wright believes that the historic confessional doctrine of Sola Fide is wrong.

Yes it was a serious question. Though your answer to my question is what I thought you meant, I wasn't sure.
I don't even mind that you thought my question was silly, at least now I know for sure what you meant.
In this day and age people disagreeing with Paul on certain issues, doesn't surprise me at all.
After all there are those who believe that Paul was a chauvinist and had a very low opinion of women and that is why he said certain things. Of course, these people are liberals and have a very low view of Scripture.
Different topic, same biblical author.
