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
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.

Resurrection means bodily life after ‘life after death,’ or, if you prefer, bodily life after the state of ‘death’
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
All history involves selection, and it is always human beings who do the selecting.
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
Our culture is so fixated on dying and going to heaven when the whole Scripture is about heaven coming to earth.
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
Logic cannot comprehend love so much the worse for logic.
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.

The resurrection completes the inauguration of God's kingdom. . . . It is the decisive event demonstrating thet God's kingdom really has been launched on earth as it is in heaven. The message of Easter is that God's new world has been unveiled in Jesus Christ and that you're now invited to belong to it.
N. T. Wright
think about the way God rules. He doesn't do it by sending in the tanks. He does it by calling servants.
N. T. Wright
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
All Christian language about the future is a set of signposts pointing into a mist.
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
Deism, historically, produces atheism. First you make God a landlord, then an absent landlord, then he becomes simply absent.
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
I accept the historical challenge, and with that, I accept the essentially Christian position that God always has more light to break out of his holy Word.
N. T. Wright
Jesus of Nazareth ushers in not simply a new religious possibility, not simply a new ethic or a new way of salvation, but a new creation.
N. T. Wright
I have met many Roman Catholic theologians who will emphasize as much as any good Protestant preacher that everything comes from the love and grace of God.
