No I haven't. Wright's literary corpus is huge. The book I have read which is still in my possession is What Saint Paul really said. It is this book that I consider to be unsound.
Wright's understanding of the Person of the Lord Jesus is sound SFAIK. It is his understanding of Justification with which I take issue. Luther wrote that Justification is the doctrine on which the Church stands or falls.

ekklesia may be connected with the verb ekkaleo, which means 'to summon forth' or 'to call out.' ekklesia simply has the meaning of an assembly and so it is used hundreds of times in Classical Greek.. It is used three times in Acts 19 to describe the city council in Ephesus, and the law court in that city.
'Many are called but few are chosen' Matthew 20:16. -
29 For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:
30 and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Ro 8
15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy.
18 So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will be hardeneth.
19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will?
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus? Ro 9 -

N.T. Wright is orthodox. That does not mean he is correct.
And the OP is correct in a way (N.T. Wright was the "gold standard" of Pauline theology among the evangelicals and Reformed....until he wasn't...i.e., until he said that they, including himself, had made errors regarding how Paul viewed righteousness in relation to the Law).
