HI Michele,

Fred has given you the sites that support NCT. He is right that both Carson and Moo have bent in that direction [I believe the same goes for New testament exegete Peter O'Brien]. I like all these authors, especially Carson [and I highly respect Fred, whom I PM frequently], though here I disagree with them. One passages that is debated in this issue is Matthew 5:17-48.

Here is an article by Greg Welty that, IHMO, provides a fair assesment of Carson's commentary on Matthew 5:17-48 (also some critique of Fred Zaspel's NCT). I have not been to the IDS website in a bit, so I don't know if Zaspel or others responded to Welty.

Perhaps this can open up some discussions. Here is the link to Welty's critique: http://www.ccir.ed.ac.uk/~jad/welty/carson.htm

In Christ,

Carlos
