New Perspective on Paul
The new perspective on Paul is a significant shift in the way some scholars, especially Protestant scholars, interpret the writings of the Apostle Paul.Paul, especially in his Epistle to the Romans, advocates justification through faith in Jesus Christ over justification through works of the Law. In the historic Lutheran and Reformed perspective, known as Sola Fide, Paul was understood to be arguing that Christians' good works would not factor into their salvation, only their faith. But according to the ""new"" perspective, Paul was questioning only observances such as circumcision and dietary laws, not good works in general.
