In this episode of Creating Space, we dive deep into the New Perspective on Paul with renowned New Testament scholar Scot McKnight. Where did this perspective come from? How does it challenge traditional interpretations of Paul's letters? And should Christians approach it with caution, curiosity, or even enthusiasm?

Dr. McKnight, a professor of New Testament for over 40 years and the author of more than 90 books, has witnessed the rise of the New Perspective firsthand. With clarity and insight, he unpacks its key ideas, the scholars behind it, and what it means for the church today.

If you've ever wrestled with Paul's writings, questioned how faith and works fit together, or wondered what Paul really meant when he talked about justification, this conversation is for you. Whether you're encountering the New Perspective for the first time or looking for a fresh take on the discussion, this episode will challenge and expand your understanding of one of Christianity's most debated theological shifts.
