Show Notes
From a lecture given on December 31st, 1996 at Yale University.
Boldly stating that historians can construct a sketch of Jesus that makes sense both historically and subsequently serves as the beginning point of Christian theology, N.T. Wright shapes this talk around 7 points of discussion about Jesus. Wight asserts that Jesus claimed to be a prophet and a messiah, was a teacher of subversive wisdom, and attempted to reconstitute Israel around himself believing that his death would usher in the kingdom of God. From these discussion points and others taken up in the talk, Wright makes a case that those who come to the historical sources about Jesus in a responsible manner will find a clear trajectory between the Jesus of the gospels and the theology of the apostle Paul.

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.
