Paul: In Fresh Perspective pdf von Nicholas Wright

I read this for the second time and was taken even more at how Mr. Wright is captivated by his own GRAND GRID to re-interpret Paul.
Though the author is surely convinced of his fresh, novel, revisionist deprotestantizing protestantism view, he is far from convincing.
Following Bereans, every time I read a book like this telling me how to understand the Bible's REAL MEANING, I immediately get the Scripture out and read the entire section before and after what the author exegetes.
In this case, Paul's plain words (in Greek and English) say something quite at variance with what Mr. Wright wants the reader to think he says.
I'll stick with Paul's Personal Perspective as found in his own text. While much of Mr. Wright's writing is readable, it is clearly his own retrospective reflection based on his modernist 20th Century education, Anglican stream of thought and GRAND GRID bias. He's welcome to his spin and slant, but thank God so is each reader free to take Paul at his own internal textual slant in the New Testament, Acts and Old Testament referencing.
