NT Wright

Upside-Down and Inside-Out

by Eddie 16.06.2010

Jesus’ call to follow him, to discover in the present time the habits of life which point forward to the coming kingdom and already, in a measure, share in its life, only makes sense when it is couched in the terms made famous by Dietrich Bonhoeffer; “Come and die.” Jesus didn’t say, as do some [...]

A Wright Good Conference

by Eddie 04.05.2010

Normally when I go running, I listen to seventies rock music. It takes something with a good driving beat to keep my feet moving. However, over the last week or so my exertions have been accompanied by a series of lectures from a conference at Wheaton College called: Jesus, Paul and the People of God: [...]

Wright Moves On

by Eddie 28.04.2010

I must admit that I find it hard to understand how anyone could leave Durham Cathedral (the finest building in the world), but Bishop Tom Wright has announced that he will be leaving his post as Bishop of Durham to take up a post at St, Andrews University. You can find the official press notice [...]

Done It!

by Eddie 12.01.2010

A few years ago, on a family holiday, we climbed Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. The walk was wonderful. From the wooded glories of Wasdale, to the rocky pinnacle of the Pike, the scenery was ever changing and constantly beautiful. Mind you, the walk back did seem a bit long; very long in [...]

Is NT Wright the Grinch?

by Eddie 27.12.2009

I don’t often read Credenda Agenda, but I was amused to come across a recent article entitled How NT Wright Stole Christmas. “Several years ago, when The Passion of the Christ was making headlines, I realized that N. T. Wright has spoiled every Jesus film.  Once you’ve read Wright, you realize that none of the [...]

Miracles, Individuals, Communities and the Gospel

by Eddie 05.07.2009

One of the features of modern western society is that we are highly orientated towards the individual.  We tend to consider the effect things will have on the individual before we think of them in corporate terms. This means that we miss out on some important things when we read the Scriptures. This was drawn [...]

Tom Wright on the Resurrection

by Eddie 11.04.2009

I like this article from Today’s Times. Easter was the pilot project. What God did for Jesus that explosive morning is what He intends to do for the whole creation. We who live in the interval between Jesus’s Resurrection and the final rescue and transformation of the whole world are called to be new-creation people [...]

The Problem With Words

by Eddie 14.02.2009

I’m about half way through Tom Wright’s Justification: God’s Plan & Paul’s Vision his answer to John Piper’s The Future of Justification. Sadly, I had to pay for Wright’s book, whereas Piper’s is a free download (though you can buy it from Amazon if you really wish). I’ll leave others to argue about the theology [...]

Blogging Code of Conduct

by Eddie 14.02.2009

It really is high time we developed a Christian ethic of blogging. Bad temper is bad temper even in the apparent privacy of your own hard drive and harsh and unjust words when released into the wild, rampage around and do real damage. And as for the practice of saying mean and untrue things behind [...]

N. T. Wright: The Bible and Tomorrow’s World

by Eddie 13.08.2008

Consider: How does what we call ‘the authority of the Bible’ relate to the authority of God himself – and the authority of Jesus himself? When the risen Jesus commissions his followers for their worldwide mission, he does not say ‘all authority in heaven and earth is given to – the books you people are [...]
