Antipater (I presume),I highly recommend reading Wright's rebuttal to Piper on justification as well.Lee (LTDahn)
Lee,Thanks for the recommendation. That one has been on my radar for awhile as well, but it will wait for another year — though it probably would be helpful to read it just after Piper's volume. Blessings,Rick (Antipater on Bible.org … you were correct 🙂
