Wright. I have read much of his material and his "Paul For Everyone" book for Galatians and Thessalonians. Rather than assuming evil motives in others, just read and consider the words that others have to say. I completely disagree with your assessment of N.T. Wright.

Wright's writing deserves rebuke, who doesn't even believe this writing is by Paul (denies and teaches against it: uses "Paul" just to facilitate getting his foot in the door); NT Wright has tried convincing people Paul wasn't writing against unbelieving Jews and Judaizers, but just trying to tell them "stop persecuting us (Christians)" (does that sound like Paul? who wanted to know Christ and His suffering, and taught to endure and be glad in persecution?). NT is fighting context here: as he nearly always seems to do; it wouldn't be invalid for him to say "I see another aspect here", but he's rather saying "you're all wrong, your emphasis is wrong, etc."; yet Paul is here fighting the Judaizers specifically by elucidating how one is justified, and this does have significance to how that community is in nature, at the table, etc., but it's the point which implicates all that rest that NT is attacking.
