More quotes by 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
It seems to me that since the Middle Ages (it's not a Reformation thing), all that stuff about Jews and Gentiles coming together in Christ was just screened out.
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
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 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
I am an advocate of one form of the New Perspective. But there are as many new perspectives as there are people writing about it.

Logic cannot comprehend love so much the worse for logic.

A 'conservative believer' must be someone who believes that Jesus was truly human as well as truly divine.
N. T. Wright
The call of the gospel is for the church to implement the victory of God in the world through suffering love.
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
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
Swords don't glorify the creator-God. Love does. Self-giving love, best of all.
N. T. Wright
Learning to live as a Christian is learning to live as a renewed human being, anticipating the eventual new creation in and with a world which is still longing and groaning for that final redemption.
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
The word salvation denotes rescue. Rescue? What from? Well, of course, ultimately death. And since it is sin that colludes with the forces of evil and decay, sin leads to death. So we are rescued from sin and death.
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
What Jesus did was not a mere example of something else, not a mere manifestation of some larger truth it was itself the climactic event and fact of cosmic history. From then on everything is differentthe End came forward into the present in Jesus the Messiah

You can't reconcile being pro-life on abortion and pro-death on the death penalty.
N. T. Wright
Part of Christian belief is to find out what's true about Jesus and let that challenge our culture.
N. T. Wright
The point of justice and mercy anyway is not ‘they deserve it’ but ‘this is the way God’s world should be’, and we are called to do those things that truly anticipate the way God’s world WILL be.
N. T. Wright
