Description: Every generation of Christian believers faces the challenge of proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ with integrity and in conformity to the teaching of the Scriptures. But what do the Scriptures teach with regard to the central message of the gospel? Were the Reformers correct to insist that the good news of God’s gracious and free acceptance of guilty sinners, on the basis of the obedience and atoning sacrifice of Christ, lies at the heart of the gospel? Or are we to accept the ‘new perspectives’ on Paul’s teaching, which have been advocated in recent years by those who have made a fresh study of the relevant historical sources? Since the new perspectives challenge some of the basic features of the traditional Protestant understanding of justification, they require careful study and thoughtful evaluation. Nothing less than the shape of the evangelical church’s proclamation of the gospel today is at stake.

Monergism Books Review: Cornelis Venema’s slim text Getting the Gospel Right: Assessing the Reformation and the New Perspective on Paul is, by its author’s own admission a “condensed version of a much larger work” offering its reader “only a skeleton of the larger work, and cannot stand alone.” That much larger work, The Gospel of Free Acceptance in Christ , represents Banner of Truth’s first full-book foyer into the wild and woolly world of the new perspective on Paul. All modesty and scholarly caution aside, Getting the Gospel Right succeeds superbly at the task it sets out to accomplish, namely “to offer a short summary of the important debate regarding the gospel that newer perspectives on Paul have provoked” as well as “a brief introduction to the kind of study and evaluation of the new perspectives on Paul that is needed.” more...
