During the SBTS panel discussion on N.T. Wright’s Justification: God’s Plan, Paul’s Vision professor Mark A. Seifrid states that it is true that Wright is not Pelagian. He affirms that Wright is “fully Augustinian” because Wright sees salvation as being the work of the Holy Spirit, but Wright “is not Reformational” (begin at 31:50).
OK, church historians and historical theology students, what does this mean?
Brian, I too wish he had said more. Perhaps because of his views on Justification. But this doesn't make sense either. As I said, I wish Dr. Seifrid had said more.
But really, What does it mean to be Augustian and not Reformational? I always thought Augustine was the seedbed of the Reformation in many ways.
I have always understood Augustine to have been one of those that Luther greatly appreciated as well. I am not sure what Seifrid means.
