Köstenberger on Wright

Although I am also a bit surprised by Köstenberger's inclusion of Wright's works given his own theological training and background, I think in a way, this is the best illustration as to what any student of the Word should always have in mind: 

When asked: 

I curious and puzzled by your inclusion of NTWright’s commentaries. From my understanding of his position on justification, he has drifted away from the standard evangelical perspective.

Köstenberger replied:

Justification is not a major issue in Colossians and Philemon. There is still much to be learned from Wright comments on Romans (the same can be said for Dunn). I don’t have to agree with someone on every issue to be able to learn from them. Also, it’s always a good idea to look at more than one commentary in any case, because no commentary is perfect or covers every conceivable angle.

Just how many people can attest to that?
