The edition used is GRS Mead's 1921 English translation; his introduction and marginal notes are also included.

Not the new perspective 'Not the new perspective' is the e-text of a paper given by Francis Watson at the British New Testament Conference in 2001. The essay is a discussion and critique of what Watson calls the 'new perspective on Paul': the recent scholarly consensus that the traditional Lutheran interpretation of the Pauline epistles is mistaken, and that Paul's chief concern is not to contrast Christian salvation by grace with Jewish salvation by works (as, it is argued, the Jewish concept of salvation was itself predominantly one of grace), but to argue that salvation is not just for the From New Humbul Resources on December 30, 2005 at 10:30 p.m..
