Tom Wright?

Right now I'm reading Tom Wright's What Saint Paul Really Said. Wright is one of the foremost proponents of what's called "the New Perspective on Paul." So far I have mixed feelings about the book. Much of what he writes is surely correct. In all likelihood, Judaism has been misunderstood by Protestants. However, part of his thesis on Paul doesn't ring entirely true with me. I personally think that Doug Moo answers a lot of Wright's objections. If you could only buy one commentary on Romans, buy Moo's! It's that good. However, back to Wright. Maybe later I'll post some more on Wright's book. This quote from Wright at the end of the book just jumped out at me. Check it out.

He writes, "Deism, historically, produces atheism; first you make God a landlord, then he becomes an absentee landlord, then he becomes simply an absentee."
