Yep, I really enjoy reading NT Wright. Another great thinker, who yes "thinks for himself" :) Don't know for certain though, I have never encountered him "wondering if he could learn to love Paul". But I am thankful for his scholarship, yes even though I am not in the same theological box as he is.
Can I Learn To Love (Or At Least Like) St. Paul?

Ask them if they follow Jesus, that is, do they obey His Commands. Ask them if they can even remember what half of His Commands are. But be careful when you do. They do not like to depart from their prepared and scripted "answers," and from their spiritual comfort zones where they think they are "resting in Jesus." -

Many years ago I read a very good book by Clark H. Pinnock, "The Scripture Principle". He states in the Preface:
Writing in Christianity Today,http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2010/augustweb-only/43-22.0.html, of Pinnock's death in 2010 Doug Koop states:
So what happened to Pinnock that he went from a proponent of the Inerrancy of Scripture to Open Theism? The Roman governor said of the Apostle Paul: Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.[Acts 26:24]
I said in an earlier post that some "Scholars" apparently get the idea that they are smarter than God and referenced the demise of Bishop Pike. Though the Apostle Paul was a man of great learning his writings in Scripture are the Words of God. But are the "Scholors", N. T. Wright and Clark H. Pinnock, like Bishop Pike? -
Another smart mind was karl barth, who seemed to come right up to universalism, but shied away...
And Rudoplh Bultmann was expert in linguistics/theology, could tell you in German and greek what paul and John said about jesus, but did not believe in what they said!
maybe can be to smart for ones own good!
