It seems to me that since the Middle Ages (it's not a Reformation thing), all that stuff about Jews and Gentiles coming together in Christ was just screened out.

More quotes by 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
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
The kingdom that Jesus preached and lived was all about a glorious, uproarious, absurd generosity.
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
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
Jesus himself, as the gospel story goes on to its dramatic conclusion, lives out the same message of the Sermon on the Mount: he is the light of the world, he is the salt of the earth, he loves his enemies and gives his life for them, he is lifted up on a hill so that the world can see.
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
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 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
Jesus's resurrection is the beginning of God's new project not to snatch people away from earth to heaven but to colonize earth with the life of heaven. That, after all, is what the Lord's Prayer is about.
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.
N. T. Wright
Resurrection means bodily life after ‘life after death,’ or, if you prefer, bodily life after the state of ‘death’
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
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
The cross is the place where, and the means by which, God loved us to the uttermost.
N. T. Wright
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.
N. T. Wright
What Jesus did was not a mere example of something else, not a mere manifestation of some larger truth it was itself the climactic event and fact of cosmic history. From then on everything is differentthe End came forward into the present in Jesus the Messiah
N. T. Wright
Swords don't glorify the creator-God. Love does. Self-giving love, best of all.
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
Our culture is so fixated on dying and going to heaven when the whole Scripture is about heaven coming to earth.
N. T. Wright
