More quotes by 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
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
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
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.
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
Art is love creating the new world and justice is love rolling up its sleeves to heal the old one.
N. T. Wright
I think future generations will say the late 20th century and the early 21st century was a time of great convulsions and upheavals.
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.
N. T. Wright
You become like what you worship
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
At the heart of Christian ethic is humility at the heart of its parodies, pride. Different roads with different destinations, and the destinations color the character of those who travel by them.
N. T. Wright
The Bible is there to enable God's people to be equipped to do God's work in God's world, not to give them an excuse to sit back smugly, knowing they possess all God's truth.
N. T. Wright
When Jerusalem is destroyed, and Jesus' people escape from the ruin just in time, that will be YHWH becoming king, bringing about the liberation of his true covenant people, the true return from exile, the beginning of the new world order
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.
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
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
Christmas is God lighting a candle and you don't light a candle in a room that's already full of sunlight. You light a candle in a room that's so murky that the candle, when lit, reveals just how bad things really are.
N. T. Wright
Paul believed, in fact, that Jesus had gone through death and out the other side. Jesus had gone into a new mode of physicality, for which there was no precedent and of which there was, as yet, no other example.
N. T. Wright
First-hand acquaintance with the actual texts is always the best way.
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
