I guess the excitement is that, in Dunn (and especially Wright), the "new perspective" now has a popular voice. More people outside of scholarly/academic circles are being confronted with what has been more or less commonly understood among experts in the field for some time.

But I fail to see why everyone is so excited (positively and negatively) over their "new perspective on Paul." The roots of this go back AT LEAST since Krister Stendahl's classic essay, "Paul and the Introspective Conscience of the West." And, weren't you and I both taught this at SBTS straight out of E.P. Sanders? I thought this was standard consensus and then, all of a sudden, I find all these evangelicals--previously champions of Wright--now freaked out by his view of justification. Weird.
