New Perspective on Paul Reading List

Not too long ago, I created a list on worldcat with the must-read titles on the New Perspective On Paul since this isn’t new with N.T.Wright (although his version of it is new). I created this post (based on my list) with the intent of bolding the material that I have read and updating it (since it is harder to keep track on that on worldcat than on my own blog). I may also create blog posts stated the position, not reviewing the books, but no promises.

I placed them in order of publishing since that is my preferred order of reading (even if I don’t adhere to that as a hard rule).

You could add Wright’s What Saint Paul Really Said, if you want another Wright book. I’ve heard that Francis Watson’s Paul and the Hermeneutics of Faith interacts quite a bit with the NPP, but haven’t read it enough to know firsthand.
