Paul:
You have an embedded cite, but I am responding. Yes, I will blog on the New Perspective soon because some of this conversation is excessive in its heat with both sides guilty of exaggerating the situation some in my view. Romans 4 is a problem for the new perspective, while traditionalists are slow to appreciate the value of understanding Judaism in first century terms when it comes to how it handles grace and law (without this cancelling the idea that Paul justly did accuse his opponents of legalism). How this works out I will try to explain down the road.
