NT Wright Interview

Justin Taylor had a link yesterday on his blog for an interview with N.T. Wright. Click here to see his Entry: Between Two Worlds.

He links to Trevin Wax's blog, Kingdom People. Trevin is the one who interviews Wright. He also interviewed Wright in 2007 and it is available as audio, which I highly recommend you listen to.

The link to the audio is http://saidatsouthern.com/nt-wright-interview-mp3/. This is excellent!

I am currently reading Simply Christian by N.T. Wright. I hope to do a review of it at sometime. I am beginning to have deep respect for him. I think that he has a lot that the church needs to hear and think through.

Please do not just write Bishop Wright off because everyone is telling us that he is a heretic and that he is destroying justification. There is a possibility that what he is saying could be right or it could be wrong but it is something that we should study and not just ignore because we are told that it is wrong.

I have not read enough to say whether I agree or disagree with Bishop Wright but I have read enough to know that he has some very thought provoking ideas and this interview has showed me where his heart is. This man loves Jesus, the church, and wants to see the Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.

It is exciting to hear him talk in that way when so many others are pessimistic. Listen and you will be encouraged!
