More quotes by N. T. Wright
Jesus' death was seen by Jesus himself ... as the ultimate means by which God's kingdom was established. The crucifixion was the shocking answer to the prayer that God's kingdom would come on earth as in heaven.
N. T. Wright
Those in whom the Spirit comes to live are God's new Temple. They are, individually and corporately, places where heaven and earth meet.

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
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
I didn't write much until I turned 40. Up until then I felt constrained by a sense of the discipline of New Testament studies and a sense of the ruling elite in theology and biblical studies.

A 'conservative believer' must be someone who believes that Jesus was truly human as well as truly divine.
N. T. Wright
For now we see the beauty of God through a glass, darkly, but then face to face now we appreciate only in part, but then we shall affirm and appreciate God, even as the living God has affirmed and appreciated us. So now our tasks are worship, mission, and management, these three but the greatest of these is worship.

I knew that I had to be a preacher. I had to be a minister, which was a puzzle to me because my dad was a businessman. It was a family company and I assumed that I would take it on from him.

Logic cannot comprehend love so much the worse for logic.

To open the Bible is to open a window toward Jerusalem, as Daniel did (6:10), no matter where our exile may have taken us.
N. T. Wright
Death is the ultimate weapon of the tyrant resurrection does not make a covenant with death, it overthrows it.
N. T. Wright
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.'
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
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
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.
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.

First-hand acquaintance with the actual texts is always the best way.
N. T. Wright
All history involves selection, and it is always human beings who do the selecting.
N. T. Wright
As we are set free by that love from our own pride and fear, our own greed and arrogance, so we are free in our turn to be agents of reconciliation and hope, or healing and love.
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
