In the "goofs" section the following theological argument is made:

In his meeting with the Roman Jews in this episode, Paul claims that the Jews no longer need the law to be saved. The implication in this claim is Biblically incorrect: nowhere in Scripture is adherence to the Law described as a prerequisite for salvation, either before or after Christ. (See Paul's own letter to the Romans, his letter to the Galatians, and Hebrews 10:4.)

Hmm... It seems that adherence to the law is indeed expected of faithful Jews in the OT. This does not mean their works saved them, but that those who were godly jews would have adhered to the law. Because this is a theologically complex issue with various Christians likely having differing opinions on the matter, I recommend removing this from the section since not all readers would consider this Biblically incorrect.
