I thought that I'd take it back to the main thread theme.
I've been tremendously interested in NPP for a long time.
Karen made reference to him in her first post on this thread, but I'd like to highlight the work of James D. G. Dunn; a key scholar in the movement.
Very recently released--and containing all his major essays on Paul over the last twenty-five years--is Dunn's
The New Perspective on Paul (revised edition), from Eerdmans. There's a lot there but well worth it, in my view.
But perhaps a better first time read in the NPP would be Wright's
What Saint Paul Really Said (also from Eerdmans
***). Very solid, but a more modest work compared with some others--and generally approachable.
For those really interested: Here's a link to an extended conversation between Wright and Dunn--linked from the N. T. Wright Page--giving ample demonstration both of their likenesses and differences. Fascinating, helpful, and a bit academically heavy-duty:

And I think that Krister Stendahl's name much deserves mention. He passed away only a few months ago--one of the more important names in New Testament scholarship in the last fifty years. His 1963 lecture "Paul Among Jews and Gentiles" really lit the NPP fuse. It can be found in Stendahl's collection of essays by the same name (Augberg Fortress)--which also includes the very important, "The Apostle Paul and the Introspective Conscience of the West." It is simply not possible ever to read Paul in quite the same way after pondering these.
Stendahl also was one of the most effective scholarly voices challenging Christian "supersessionism" in regard to Judaism.
Regards.

*** Given how many of their books that I buy and read, maybe I ought to buy stock in Eerdmans.
