Wright criticizes Reformers for failing to stress «the
great narrative of God, Israel, Jesus, and the world, coming forward into our own day and looking
ahead to the eventual renewal of all things» so that their readings of the gospels «show little
awareness of them as anything other than repositories of dominical teaching, concluding with the saving events of Good Friday and Easter but without integrating those events into the Kingdom - proclamation that preceded them.»
His positional
awareness and judgement, which the more attack - minded Ramsey has seemed unable to provide, added a
greater degree of balance to
ahead of a defence that benefited from the more consistent cover afforded to them by Elneny.
