Just a small nitpick, but it's important to my theological ears: TA conflates "righteousness" and "self-righteousness", which are two different things.

Not that anyone is righteous on their own -- no one is. But that doesn't mean righteousness isn't a real concept that can be understood apart from self-righteousness.

In fact, Martin Luther's discovery that no one is righteous on their own, and the notion of an alien or imputed righteousness granted by God to those who repent and trust in Jesus (as St Paul explains it in the book of Romans) was a key moment in the lead-up to the Protestant Reformation in the 1500s.
