Scot McKnight has just begun part 1 of his 'as expected' substantial and great reviews on NPP and its usual suspects. Stendahl, Sanders, Dunn and Wright (SSDW). Interestingly, he begind on the same note or charge that Wright has made in his new book on Justification. That is critics of the NPP or of Wright specifically, are not hearing what the latter is trying to say. McKnight goes as far as to say, agreeing with Wright on this area, that the NPP proponents are more Protestant than their critics because they are willing to reexamine what the Bible and Paul are actually saying instead of relying on the Augustinian or Reformist traditions.
This is a great piece of writing of which I am expecting more to come shortly. I also do foresee that the critics of NPP, and especially Wright, will aim their salvos on McKnight from now on just as they did for Wright.
