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.

More quotes by N. T. Wright
The cross is the place where, and the means by which, God loved us to the uttermost.
N. T. Wright
Far too many people, especially within evangelicalism, think that the individual is all that matters, and that the corporate dimension is a distraction or diversion. Of course Christianity is deeply personal for every single Christian nobody gets lost in the kingdom of God. But you can't play that off against the corporate dimension.
N. T. Wright
All Christian language about the future is a set of signposts pointing into a mist.
N. T. Wright
Tolerance is a cheap, low-grade parody of love. Tolerance is not a great virtue to aspire to. Love is much tougher and harder.
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
I believe we face the question: if not now, then when? And if we are grasped by this vision, we may also hear the question: If not us, then who? And if the gospel of Jesus is not the key to this task, then what is?
N. T. Wright
You can't reconcile being pro-life on abortion and pro-death on the death penalty.
N. T. Wright
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
I am convinced that when we bring our griefs and sorrows within the story of God's own grief and sorrow, and allow them to be held there, God is able to bring healing to us and new possibilities to our lives. That is, of course, what Good Friday and Easter are all about.
N. T. Wright
Art is love creating the new world and justice is love rolling up its sleeves to heal the old one.
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
First-hand acquaintance with the actual texts is always the best way.
N. T. Wright
My aim has been to expound Scripture and to expound Scripture in such a way that I do not set one Scripture over against another.
N. T. Wright
To pray 'your kingdom come' at Jesus' bidding meant to align oneself with his kingdom movement.
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
One of the things I really respect about Doug Moo is that he is constantly grappling with the text. Where he hears the text saying something which is not what his tradition would have said, he will go with the text. I won't always agree with his exegesis, but there is a relentless scholarly honesty about him which I really tip my hat off to.
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
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
The cross is the surest, truest and deepest window on the very heart and character of the living and loving God.
N. T. Wright
