More quotes by N. T. Wright
When it became clear that in fact my father was saying, It will be interesting to see what you want to do when you grow up, I realized that there was no pressure on that front. And I remember huge relief: Hey, I can go and do what I really know I have to do!
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
I have never been to India and I am not a specialist on Indian culture, and I would not wish to be heard to be taking swipes at a culture which I've never experienced and where I've never lived.
N. T. Wright
Worship will never end whether there be buildings, they will crumble whether there be committees, they will fall asleep whether there be budgets, they will add up to nothing. For we build for the present age, we discuss for the present age, and we pay for the present age but when the age to come is here, the present age will be done away.
N. T. Wright
God's kingdom is launched through Jesus and particularly through his death and resurrection but, by the Spirit, this kingdom is not an escape from the present world but rather its transformation, already in the present (starting with Jesus' resurrection) and in the ultimate future (the new heaven and earth including our own resurrection).

If you ask people in England where does Tom Wright sit on the theological spectrum, they say, Well he's an evangelical of course, as though, come on, get used to it.

Heard in full sound, the Gospels tell about the establishment of a theocracy, and portray what theocracy looks like with Jesus as king.
N. T. Wright
Indian leaders are saying, You don't understand our caste system. It's really a lovely thing. People are very happy about it and so on. I don't think that's quite fair.
N. T. Wright
Jesus didn't really die-someone gave him a long drug that made him look like dead, and he revived in the tomb. Answer: Roman soldiers knew how to kill people, and no disciple would have been fooled by a half-drugged, beat-up Jesus into thinking he'd defeated death and inaugurated the kingdom.

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
The New Testament picks up from the Old the theme that God intends, in the end, to put the whole creation to rights.
N. T. Wright
We have to train ourselves to use words accurately. And there's so much loose Christian talk, for which I've no doubt been as guilty as any.
N. T. Wright
...we will arrange for 'religion' to become a small subdepartment of ordinary life it will be quite safe - harmless, in fact - with church life carefully separated off from everything else in the world, whether politics, art, sex, economics, or whatever.
N. T. Wright
I have always taken the view that sometimes war may be justified, as police action can be justified, to protect the weak and vulnerable (a major preoccupation in scripture). But this is an old and difficult question and very wise people take different views.

A 'conservative believer' must be someone who believes that Jesus was truly human as well as truly divine.
N. T. Wright
Christ's resurrection doesn't mean escaping from the world it means mission to the world based on Jesus's lordship over the world.
N. T. Wright
God is the Creator God, he doesn't want to say, Okay, creation was very good, but I'm scrapping it. He wants to say, Creation is so good that I'm going to rescue it.
N. T. Wright
Justice and beauty are central to God's new world and should be central to our work. Together they frame the good news of Jesus.
N. T. Wright
The only sure rule is to remember that the Bible is indeed God's gift to the church, to equip that church for its work in the world, and that serious study of it can and should become one of the places where, and the means by which, heaven and earth interlock and God's future purposes arrive in the present.
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.
