About Jeremy Treat

I’m a doctoral student at Wheaton under Kevin Vanhoozer and writing my dissertation on the relationship between the kingdom and the cross in biblical and systematic theology. I’m from Alaska and Washington and have studied at Biola U., Seattle Pacific U., Fuller Seminary, and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Somewhere in there I was a pastor for seven years. I married my basketball coach’s daughter (score!) and we have two little girls. My oldest daughter just learned how to tell me “I love you,” which might be the best analogy for theology I’ve come across.

Does N.T. Wright Miss the Mark on “Forgiveness of Sins”?

Posted on December 1, 2011 by Jeremy Treat

One thing I’ve learned about N. T. Wright is that if he doesn’t like something, he calls it “abstract” or “ahistorical.” Regarding the “forgiveness of sins,” Wright’s aversion for de-historicizing causes him to reject any interpretations that “focus on piety … Continue reading →
