Wright: obedient to both testaments

But where do we find any justification for imagining  that by rightly understanding what the NT commands us to do, we are absolved from what the OT commands?  Why should we imagine that doing evangelism in obedience to the NT excludes doing justice in obedience to the Old?  Why have we allowed what we call the Great Commission to obscure the twin challenge (endorsed by Jesus himself) of the Great Commandment?
