I used to believe what Gavin Perkins, of the Sola Panel blog, is arguing for here. However unlike him I’m not so sure I can neatly interpret 2 Peter 3:10-13 anymore – as he has interpreted it. I think one of the comments left about that same passage’s use of ‘the flood’ (v6) puts a bit of a spanner in the works for our traditional evangelical interpretations and so Tom Wright might not be completely wrong after all.

UPDATE: Make sure you read the comment stream on Gavin’s post - an interesting discussion is developing.
