'Have we been distorting Paul by reading him through the lens of Augustine's fight with Pelagius, and even more so, Luther's fight with Catholicism?' 'Have we, in fact, been misrepresenting the Gospel all this time?' Leading scholars say yes, including N. T. Wright, the most prominent evangelical who thinks so. Is Wright right?

Scott Bartchy is a radical. He believes in a subversive system that embraces those on the fringes of our society and seeks to establish a new way of life that goes against the status quo.

Bartchy, currently the Director of the Center for the Study of Religions at UCLA, notes a great gap between the original, early form of church in the first three hundred years of Christianity, and the modern concept of doing church today.
