Description: The New Perspective has challenged the traditional Protestant approach to interpreting Paul. In particular, it questions Luther's interpretation of Paul. The New Perspective makes two main assertions. First, it claims that Judaism is a grace-based, rather than works-based, religion. Second, it maintains that justification is not at the centre of Paul's thought but is more peripheral. New Perspective scholars claim that justification is less about how a person enters heaven and more about how a person becomes a member of God's community on earth.In this thesis I demonstrate that New Perspective scholars have not completely understood Luther. I also aim to show that the first assertion---grace-based Judaism---does not challenge Luther's interpretation as much as New Perspective scholars believe.
