If you want to know who God is, look at Jesus. If you want to know what it means to be human, look at Jesus. If you want to know what love is, look at Jesus. If you want to know what grief is, look at Jesus. And go on looking until you’re not just a spectator, but you’re actually part of the drama which has him as the central character.

By all means write new songs. Each generation must do that. But to neglect the church's original hymnbook is, to put it bluntly, crazy
N. T. Wright
Image
Since all human governments, like all human individuals, are subject to temptation, especially the temptation to use this God-given role for their own ends, there must be clear and wise critique, and holding to account.

It's not great faith you need it is faith in a great God.

Love is not just tolerance. It's not just distant appreciation. It's a warm sense of, 'I am enjoying the fact that you are you.'

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.

Part of Christian belief is to find out what's true about Jesus and let that challenge our culture.
N. T. Wright
Image
A 'conservative believer' must be someone who believes that Jesus was truly human as well as truly divine.

I think future generations will say the late 20th century and the early 21st century was a time of great convulsions and upheavals.
