NPP is Really Hot...Sadly

The Christian Carnival is now open at the Fathom Deep blog.

One of the carnival entries is at C. Orthodoxy. He lists the top ten books that have influenced 50 Christian bloggers.

I am very disappointed that three of the top ten listed are the triumvirate of the New Perspective on Paul (NPP) guys - Wright (at #1), Sanders (at #3) and Dunn (at #8). I remember when there were theological disagreements that were contained within the framework of "normative" evangelical Christianity. No more. Now every apostasy in town is sticking its head into Christian colleges, seminaries, churches and even Christian blogs. The following got two and were not on the top ten -
Michael Horton, John Piper, and D.A. Carson. On my list, they would be at the top. Oh well. Ultra-libaral Protestant Spong also got two and Bart Erhman got 4 (YIKES!!). Four????

Thankfully, there was one salvage on the top ten list - Gordon Fee at #4.

Sigh........
