Commenting on Acts 15, Wright notes the following: 

“It is ironic how far we have moved from this early difficulty. For many contemporary
Christians the problem lies with the Old Testament. For these early Christians the
Old Testament was the given Word of God; the problem lay with the church. Our question
so often is, Is the Old Testament really Christian? Their question was, Is the church
scriptural (i.e., consistent with the Old Testament)?”
