N.T. Wright on Eschatological Language

May 3, 2010

This is from a panel discussion at the Wheaton Conference Wright spoke at recently. Wright is speaking about eschatological language and the misunderstanding that ensues when one assumes eschatological genres are literal genres: I love John Barton’s line that when we read an Old Testament text which says, “The sun will be turned into darkness [...]

A Sure Fire Way To Make People Angry Every Christmas

December 29, 2009

So I recently wrote about 5 of the theologically worst Christmas carols ever. Interestingly, I was not the only person thinking about this topic. Peter Leithart wrote, “How N.T. Wright Stole Christmas” to help us see that if we take the Bible’s Jesus on his own first-century terms, we have to throw out many of [...]

I’m about halfway through the book, having just finished the section on the exegesis of Galatians. I then stopped and picked up Piper’s book, The [...]

N.T. Wright on the Goal of Theological Study

June 1, 2009

Start with exegesis, and remind yourself that the end in view is not a tidy system, sitting in hard covers on a shelf where one may look up “correct answers,” but the sermon, or the shared pastoral reading, or the scriptural word to a Synod or other formal church gathering, or indeed the life of [...]

Interview with Wright on Justification

April 28, 2009

N.T. Wright’s new book, Justification: God’s Plan and Paul’s Vision, promises to be a very exciting read. Wright attempts to lay out what he believes is Paul’s view of justification, setting it in the context of God’s overall purposes. The book is partly a response to John Piper’s critique of Wright, though he tries to [...]
