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
Hope comes as a surprise, at several levels at once.

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
Death is a monster death is horrible.

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
I have always taken the view that sometimes war may be justified, as police action can be justified, to protect the weak and vulnerable (a major preoccupation in scripture). But this is an old and difficult question and very wise people take different views.
N. T. Wright
The call of the gospel is for the church to implement the victory of God in the world through suffering love.
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
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
I think future generations will say the late 20th century and the early 21st century was a time of great convulsions and upheavals.

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.

All history involves selection, and it is always human beings who do the selecting.
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' death was seen by Jesus himself ... as the ultimate means by which God's kingdom was established. The crucifixion was the shocking answer to the prayer that God's kingdom would come on earth as in heaven.
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
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
Since all human governments, like all human individuals, are subject to temptation, especially the temptation to use this God-given role for their own ends, there must be clear and wise critique, and holding to account.
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
To get overprotective about particular readings of the Bible is always in danger of idolatry.
N. T. Wright
The cross is the surest, truest and deepest window on the very heart and character of the living and loving God.
