More quotes by N. T. Wright
The New Testament picks up from the Old the theme that God intends, in the end, to put the whole creation to rights.
N. T. Wright
Swords don't glorify the creator-God. Love does. Self-giving love, best of all.
N. T. Wright
Death is a monster death is horrible.

I'm fortunate in that I've grown up in a worshipping tradition which is quite rich musically (and music is very important to me) and has a wonderful resource of hymns from all sorts of different parts of the Church... and to go to church and be able to sing that stuff and listen to a Bach motet or indeed some charismatic choruses.
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
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
To pray 'your kingdom come' at Jesus' bidding meant to align oneself with his kingdom movement.
N. T. Wright
Heard in full sound, the Gospels tell about the establishment of a theocracy, and portray what theocracy looks like with Jesus as king.
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
Christ's resurrection doesn't mean escaping from the world it means mission to the world based on Jesus's lordship over the world.
N. T. Wright
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.
N. T. Wright
Jesus, to be sure, often spent long times alone in prayer. But he was also deeply at home where there was a party, a kingdom party, a celebration of the fact that God was at last taking charge.
N. T. Wright
Learning to live as a Christian is learning to live as a renewed human being, anticipating the eventual new creation in and with a world which is still longing and groaning for that final redemption.
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
Justice and beauty are central to God's new world and should be central to our work. Together they frame the good news of Jesus.
N. T. Wright
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.
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.

From where many of us in the U.K. sit, American politics is hopelessly polarized. All kinds of issues get bundled up into two great heaps. The rest of the world, today and across the centuries, simply doesn't see things in this horribly oversimplified 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
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.
