There are strange doings in the Reformed world these days. One of the strangest I've come across recently are comments from one Reformed elder who complained that NT Wright's views on justification were introducing a new Romanism. According to this writer, it is no defense of Wright to point out that he insists that justification is a forensic act, since today even Roman Catholic theologians admit that. This is bizarre in the extreme. Five hundred years ago, Protestants would have been dancing in the streets to hear that Catholic theologians admitted that justification is a forensic act. They would have declared Luther's protest a success and gone on building a unified Christendom. Today, maintaining the separation of Catholic and Protestant has become so important that even theologians who teach forensic justification are suspect because Catholics teach that too.
