Great observation - I think a lot of Christians think the opposite of justification by faith is legalism by doing works of morality - I think people miss the context of works of the law being works of cultural identity. I’ll be thinking about that a lot.
Also Dr Dave pastors the multi-ethnic Bridgeway Community Church not far from me, have many friends who work and attend and lots of relationships among our different ministry teams. We’ve learned a lot from them and happy to see his Grecism book and terminology getting recognition - all the way in Australia!
I'm curious to know what "social distinctions" are being thought about here? Do these "social distinctions" include thing like sexual identity or sexual practices that draw a "distinction" between people?

Michelle, well, you can tell Ps Dave that his book made it as far south as Australia.
Absolutely excellent!
