Keep up the good job Sweed.
I've been busy doing some studying on this new view of Paul that is croping up in reformed circles. It down plays the imputation of Christ as our basis of our forensic declaration of rightiousness. It is propogated by N.T. Wright, Tom Wright, James Dunn, who are Brittish anglican scholars, Norman Shephard (who was kicked out of the OPC for illicit views on sola fide), sadly Doug Wilson and John Armstriong have Jumped on the bandwagon.
So I'm studying to defeat this abrerent-herretical view. My motto is "If you mess with the gospel of free grace we are going to mess with you."
I'm going over classical reformed systematics like Berkhof, Hodge, Dabney, and Reymand plus Ive been reading great books to back up the classic reformed position like Justification by Faith Alone by Philip Everson published by Day One and John Pipers new book Counted Rightious in Christ published by Crossway. Plus reading solid BT books like Vos's Pualine Escatology and following the litteral gramatical historical redemptive exigetical method to chunch out a solid exigigs in defending Sola Fide from the Text against the attacts of the Papists and the new view of Paul groupies....
keep up the fight,
