"There is just now a fashion for upholding something called 'Nicene' Christianity. But the great creeds of the fourth and fifth centuries were never intended as a complete teaching syllabus, and when used that way they screen out the central theme of the four Gospels: How God Became King (aka The Kingdom of God). Western Christianity has thus lurched between a faith based on incarnation and cross (but without 'kingdom') and a social-gospel 'kingdom'-movement (but without incarnation and cross). How can we put back together what the Gospels were trying to tell us all along?"
From the January Series at Calvin College in 2012.

More from The N.T. Wright Podcast
Tom Wright is unquestionably one of the most influential NT scholars of our generation. It’s hard to overestimate the influence he has had on the Church’s understanding of Jesus and Paul.
Tom took some time to talk with Shane Blackshear on his podcast Seminary Dropout in May of 2015.
Trevin Wax interviewed Bishop NT Wright for the Said At Southern Podcast. You can find a full transcript of the conversation on his website Kingdom People. This podcast was recorded on the campus of Asbury Theological Seminary on November 15, 2007.
So, I have received a few emails concerning people not being able to download the audio files from the iTunes feed. I have switched my computers from running Mac OSX to running Linux because of long term support issues. I haven't had the time to look up a possible solution yet but you should be able to reload the feed if you add it manually from iTunes.
N.T. Wright is back for a third time to talk to the guys over at Nomad Podcast back in October of 2013.
