More quotes by N. T. Wright
The gospel is not itself about you are this sort of a person and this can happen to you. That's the result of the gospel rather than the gospel itself.
N. T. Wright
When we learn to read the story of Jesus and see it as the story of the love of God, doing for us what we could not do for ourselves--that insight produces, again and again, a sense of astonished gratitude which is very near the heart of authentic Christian experience.
N. T. Wright
The kingdom that Jesus preached and lived was all about a glorious, uproarious, absurd generosity.
N. T. Wright
A 'conservative believer' must be someone who believes that Jesus was truly human as well as truly divine.
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
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's not great faith you need it is faith in a great God.

Often people see doctrines as a checklist. Here are the following nineteen truths which you've got to believe to be a good sound Christian.
N. T. Wright
I am convinced that when we bring our griefs and sorrows within the story of God's own grief and sorrow, and allow them to be held there, God is able to bring healing to us and new possibilities to our lives. That is, of course, what Good Friday and Easter are all about.
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
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
Genesis 1...was designed to reflect God, both to reflect God back to God in worship and to reflect God into the rest of creation in stewardship.
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
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
All Christian language about the future is a set of signposts pointing into a mist.
N. T. Wright
What we have at the moment isn't as the old liturgies used to say, 'the sure and certain hope of the resurrection of the dead,' but a vague and fuzzy optimism that somehow things may work out in the end.
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
Death is a monster death is horrible.
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
Our culture is so fixated on dying and going to heaven when the whole Scripture is about heaven coming to earth.
