  • Bishop Wright’s teaching have helped me as a physician

Where is the Garden of Eden? NT Wright on Genesis, editing & authority
Q: What does the reference to the Garden of Eden's location imply about the scripture's authority?
It suggests the historical and theological significance of place within biblical narratives, rather than undermining the text's authority.
Where is the Garden of Eden? NT Wright on Genesis, editing & authority
Q: How should we understand the conflicting styles in Genesis regarding the Garden of Eden?
The texts in Genesis appear as two different accounts with different purposes, and understanding this requires a flexible view of scriptural inspiration.
Is Christianity bad?! Has religion done more harm than good?
Q: If Jesus is Israel's Messiah, why has the majority of Israel failed to believe in him?
The distinction made by St. Paul highlights that not all who are of Israel are Israel; there are both ethnic and believing Jews in this discussion.
Is Christianity bad?! Has religion done more harm than good?
Q: How do we address the struggle of whether Christianity has done more harm than good?
We need a nuanced picture of church history, acknowledging both the good and wicked actions of the church, while recognizing that critiques of Christianity often rely on Christian values.
Tom Holland vs the Nativity: NT Wright answers
Q: How do we interpret the inconsistencies in the birth narratives, particularly concerning the census and Herod's actions?
Wright proposes that although historians often rely on limited sources, the character of Herod supports the plausibility of the Nativity story, and he encourages a nuanced understanding of the historical context rather than a purely skeptical approach.
