The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum The Nature of Church

Well, isn't it interesting that Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Owen, Goodwin, Edwards,, Bunyan, Boston, Hodge, Bavinck, Berkhof and a litany of other "stalwarts" aren't worthy of much or even any of your consideration, but James D.G. Dunn is?

Are you even aware of who this man is? It's no wonder that Westminster Press published his work, since their mainstay is Liberal (theological) authors. So, just in the outside chance you do not know of James D.G. Dunn, he is one of the prominent proponents of the infamous heresy known as "NPP" (New Perspective on Paul) which denies the cardinal doctrine of Sola Fide, justification by faith alone; that doctrine which stands in opposition to ALL other sects and religions of the world which embrace synergism vs. monergism.

Now, knowing who this author is and what he believes, do you seriously think that I or anyone else here who has read the several discussions on this heresy and its advocates would bother reading what Dunn wrote?

There are two old adages which immediately come to mind in regard to your recommended reading:

1. Consider the source!
2. One doesn't have to jump into the sewer to know that it stinks!

Perhaps you would like to offer a CHRISTIAN author to make your point? And if so, how about narrowing it down to at least a chapter? I have offered small terse but salient articles which one could read in a few minutes, with the exception of Dr. Francis Nigel Lee's book, The Covenantal Sabbath, which I did because it is a monumental work that covers virtually all aspects of the Sabbath in a way that no one else has done to this day.

THANKS!
