More quotes by N. T. Wright
Made for spirituality, we wallow in introspection. Made for joy, we settle for pleasure. Made for justice, we clamor for vengeance.
N. T. Wright
First-hand acquaintance with the actual texts is always the best way.
N. T. Wright
When Jesus wanted to explain to his disciples what his death was all about, he didn't give them a theory, he gave them a meal.
N. T. Wright
Genesis 1...was designed to reflect God, both to reflect God back to God in worship and to reflect God into the rest of creation in stewardship.
N. T. Wright
To get overprotective about particular readings of the Bible is always in danger of idolatry.
N. T. Wright
Of course there are people who think of 'heaven' as a kind of pie-in-the-sky dream of an afterlife to make the thought of dying less awful. No doubt that's a problem as old as the human race.
N. T. Wright
I'm not a universalist, and the way I talk about final loss is this: People worship idols - money, whatever. Their humanness gets reshaped around the idol - you become like what you worship. That's one of the basic spiritual laws.
N. T. Wright
Jesus of Nazareth ushers in not simply a new religious possibility, not simply a new ethic or a new way of salvation, but a new creation.
N. T. Wright
You can't reconcile being pro-life on abortion and pro-death on the death penalty.
N. T. Wright
People have been told so often that resurrection is just a metaphor, and means Jesus died and was glorified - in other words, he went to Heaven, whatever that means. And they've never realized that the word 'resurrection' simply didn't mean that.
N. T. Wright
If you have never felt or known the sheer power and strength of God's love, take another look at Jesus dying on the cross.
N. T. Wright
When we begin to glimpse the reality of God, the natural reaction is to worship him. Not to have that reaction is a fairly sure sign that we haven't yet really understood who he is or what he's done.
N. T. Wright
Often people see doctrines as a checklist. Here are the following nineteen truths which you've got to believe to be a good sound Christian.
N. T. Wright
One of the reasons we do history, in fact, is because it acts as a brake, a control, on our otherwise unbridled enthusiasm for our own ideas.
N. T. Wright
At the heart of Christian ethic is humility at the heart of its parodies, pride. Different roads with different destinations, and the destinations color the character of those who travel by them.
N. T. Wright
Christmas is God lighting a candle and you don't light a candle in a room that's already full of sunlight. You light a candle in a room that's so murky that the candle, when lit, reveals just how bad things really are.
N. T. Wright
Funny but, for me, the Bible was a hobby before it was a serious study. It was the thing I'd sneak off and do on the side, feeling rather guilty because I wasn't doing my real school homework or whatever... and never thinking I would make it a life's work.
N. T. Wright
The cross is the surest, truest and deepest window on the very heart and character of the living and loving God.
N. T. Wright
Hope comes as a surprise, at several levels at once.
N. T. Wright
It is faith alone that justifies, but faith that justifies can never be alone, though one is justified by faith alone, the faith which justifies is never in fact alone.
N. T. Wright
