More quotes by N. T. Wright
I'm very eclectic, musically as in other things! But also to frame the hearing and knowing of Scripture within a context of worship, which is what Anglican liturgy does, just seems to me such a very complete and compelling thing.
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
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
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
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 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
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
One of the reasons we do history, in fact, is because it acts as a brake, a control, on our otherwise unbridled enthusiasm for our own ideas.
N. T. Wright
All history involves selection, and it is always human beings who do the selecting.
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
The rule of love, I say again, is not an optional extra. It is the very essence of what we [Christians] are about
N. T. Wright
It is faith alone that justifies, but faith that justifies can never be alone, though one is justified by faith alone, the faith which justifies is never in fact alone.
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
Our culture is so fixated on dying and going to heaven when the whole Scripture is about heaven coming to earth.
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
I grew up in a church-going family, a very sort of ordinary, middle-of-the-road Anglican family where nobody really talked about personal Christian experience. It was just sort of assumed like an awful lot of things in the 1950's were just sort of taken for granted.
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
Part of Christian belief is to find out what's true about Jesus and let that challenge our culture.
N. T. Wright
God's kingdom is launched through Jesus and particularly through his death and resurrection but, by the Spirit, this kingdom is not an escape from the present world but rather its transformation, already in the present (starting with Jesus' resurrection) and in the ultimate future (the new heaven and earth including our own resurrection).
