The Catholic leader Tom Wright referred to in the last two minutes was Francis cardinal George of Chicago.

I believe when worldly authorities, such as King David, seek to rule in submission to divine authority then the Righteousness of God will prevail. ungodly rule may be better than anarchy and chaos but godly rule is worth praying for and voting for

I wonder if you'd consider an interview/podcast with the author of this new book, Cultural Sanctification: Engaging the World like the Early Church by Stephen O. Presley. This might make a good follow up to the NT Wright interview.

It’s funny that you mention him. I had another person mention to me 5 minutes after I saw your comment. I will look into the book and set something up!

Where to start with Tom's 90+ books? Read Surprised by Joy, The Resurrection of the Son of God is beside me now, with E P Sanders. I am coming out as a Christian, as a gay man it's almost as difficult as coming out as a Communist. N T Wright, C S Lewis, George MacDonald and (surprisingly) the sermons of John Wesley are bringing me to a Faith and Life I never knew was possible. I would love to hear Tom play St James Infirmary with Hugh Laurie, liked Collins and Wright Genesis...

I would recommend starting with "Simply Christian." But, it really depends on your level of knowledge and familiarity with Christian doctrine and scholarship. Wright is one of those very rare scholars/writers who can both write for the laymen and the smartest scholars and theologians. How much have you read already? How far are you on your Christian journey? How long have you been following Jesus? Sorry for so many questions, but its hard to recommend which book if I am unfamiliar with where you are at 🙂

When I saw this title, I was not yet aware of Wright's new book - I thought this video would be him commenting on the work of Walter Wink. Would be interested in hearing Wright explicitly engage with Wink's positions - and perhaps he has done so elsewhere..?

What does the term "rule" mean when "last of all and slave of all" is the ruler?
@jaggedstarrPI 2 ай бұрын
Like your question. How about, "govern" or even "judge" (old testament sense only)?

Dispensationalism is simply not biblically correct. Wright and Bird’s book is an excellent read and very timely.

Seriously: dear Podcasters and KZfaqrs, can you PLEASE balance the two microphones. I have to turn it up to hear Tom Wright, and get my ears blasted out when the host chimes in, particularly with a shrill laugh I will have to turn this off if it Continues; either turn your mic down, or turn his up. And stop the raucous earspliting laughter- it's like a spike I an old ear. 17:11 Im off to find another discussion with better SOUND

I'm not a dispensationalist but I think NT Wright and Michael Bird are getting their impressions of American politics from propaganda news sources and really don't understand what's actually happening. I'll give their book a fair read and hope that misguided information didn't ruin the book.

I disagree. As a Christian in the US, I think they are spot on.

Tom's idea that Americans who oppose abortion want 17 year olds to own automatic weapons is ridiculous. I live in a strong 2nd amendment community. Nobody thinks 17 year olds have a right to be heavily armed. I think he's misconstruing the Rittenhouse incident. Although I don't understand how the young man is now a celebrity to many.

@@benporter9945 As a Christian in the US, I've bought their book so I'll know for sure but we're probably going to have to disagree on this. There are so many psyops that are using the Motte and Bailey redefining of terms and caricatures of Trump that are frankly irrational and delusional. Pure propaganda. I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 and preferred another candidate this round but I think people with Trump Derangement Syndrome need serious psychological assistance and a fasting from any corporate media for at least a year so they can be deprogrammed. I don't blame these well meaning people. They aren't evil - just fearful, hypnotized, brainwashed, and confused. But ultimately the answer for the world isn't political. But still the responsibility we have as citizens is to be involved in our democratic/ Republic govt is to not abdicate our responsibility and honor of participating. Granted all governments will fail and that's why the world needs King Jesus to rule our hearts.

If you dont "get" the already inaugurated and the not yet finally enacted of the Kingdom, you will simply glissade into some version of kingdom triumpalism or the christian ghetto. The former leads to action, the latter to withdrawal awaiting....??. Managing to live scripturally and yet led by the Spirit, is where the kingdom breaks through in manifest ways.....
