Show Notes
N.T. Wright is back for a third time to talk to the guys over at Nomad Podcast back in October of 2013.
Okay, so perhaps on a popular level a new N. T. Wright book launch doesn’t quite match the razzmatazz of Rob Bell, but for those with a hunger for some meaty theology (written in a pleasingly engaging style), then it doesn’t get much bigger than this.
Tom Wright is a rare breed. He somehow manages to bridge the divide between the academy and the pew (his academic stuff written as N. T. Wright, and his more popular stuff written as Tom Wright). He moves in traditional and emerging circles. And he’s a professional theologian who has a real, living faith.
What a guy!
And I got to talk with him (for the third time)!
As with every time I hear Tom Wright speak, I’m left with a multitude of things to ponder. I was particularly struck this time though by his answer to my question ‘What do you think would be Paul’s message to the church today?’. Now obviously Tom can’t knowthe answer to this question, but he probably knows Paul better than anyone (he’s just finished a 1860 page book on him for goodness sake!). And Tom felt Paul would be deeply concerned with the disunity in the church.

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.
