    Is the God of the Old Testament a Problem? N.T. Wright On The Heresy That Won’t Die

    We’re launching a new occasional series for bonus listeners: N.T. Wright’s theological pet peeves starting with a mistake that just won’t die. In this punchy episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird take on modern Marcionism: the quiet but widespread assumption that the God of the Old Testament is somehow different from the God revealed in Jesus. It’s rarely stated outright, but it shapes how many Christians read Scripture, talk about morality, and even understand grace. Drawing on Romans, Galatians, and the teaching of Jesus himself, Tom argues that tearing apart law and grace, Old and New Testaments, or Israel and the Church doesn’t solve theological problems, it creates them. Short, sharp, and unsettling in the best way, this episode invites us to rethink assumptions we didn’t even realise we held, and to suggest the next theological “pet peeve” Tom should tackle.

    Where is the Garden of Eden? NT Wright on Genesis, editing & authority

    Where is the Garden of Eden? What did Paul mean by our “earthly tent”? And does Genesis contain later edits, and if so, does that undermine Scripture?In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle three of the most frequently misunderstood biblical questions.Tom explains why Paul’s language in 2 Corinthians 5 isn’t Platonic escapism but robust resurrection hope; why the “tent” points both to the tabernacle and to our mortal bodies; and how the early Christians understood “what is kept in heaven” as something destined ultimately for earth.Next, they turn to the location of Eden, and Tom challenges the assumption that Genesis 2 must read like Google Maps. They explore how ancient narrative works, what editing does (and does not) mean for inspiration, and why Genesis 1–2 gives us two complementary windows into creation, not a modern-style chronology.If you’ve ever wondered whether Genesis has contradictions, whether Paul believed in an intermediate state, or whether Scripture’s “oddities” weaken its authority, this episode will steady the ground beneath your feet, and deepen your appreciation for the beauty, richness, and layered texture of the biblical story.Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateGot a question for Tom?

    N.T. Wright on the Best and Worst Christmas Carols

    In this Christmas Day bonus episode of Ask NT Wright Anything Tom Wright delivers a theologian’s verdict on the best and worst Christmas hymns. Drawing on a lifetime of singing, teaching, and biblical scholarship, Tom explains to Mike Bird (who also has some pretty strong feelings about carols!) why some beloved carols powerfully proclaim the mystery of the Incarnation, while others slide into sentimentality or even quiet theological confusion. From the rich, creedal depth of O Come, All Ye Faithful to his famously sharp critique of the much-loved Away in a Manger. Tom shows how what we sing shapes what we believe about Jesus, heaven, and God’s future for the world. Along the way, he reflects on Advent expectancy, challenges “sweet but shallow” theology, and suggests why churches might need to rethink, or even rewrite, the words they sing at Christmas.

    Tom Holland vs the Nativity: NT Wright answers

    Was Jesus really born in Bethlehem, or did the gospel writers “invent” the story to fit prophecy? Did a Roman census ever force people to travel back to their ancestral towns? And what about Herod’s massacre of the innocents – pure theology, or plausible history?In this special Advent episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird respond to challenges raised by historian Tom Holland (of The Rest Is History podcast) about the birth narratives of Jesus. Tom explains why ancient history is full of gaps, how new evidence has repeatedly vindicated biblical details once dismissed as “unhistorical,” and why we should be cautious about confidently declaring, “That could never have happened.”🎧 If you’ve ever wondered, “Did Luke get Christmas wrong?” or felt unsettled by historical objections to the nativity, this episode will help you think more clearly – without losing the wonder.

  5. Paul’s Roman Citizenship and the Hope of Resurrection

    Paul’s Roman Citizenship and the Hope of Resurrection

    In this bonus episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, N.T. Wright and Mike Bird continue their journey through the book of Acts, focusing on Acts 21 -23 and Paul’s dramatic arrest in Jerusalem. As a riot erupts in the temple, Paul narrowly avoids flogging by invoking a crucial detail: his Roman citizenship. Why does Paul “play this card,” and how significant is it within Roman law and God’s unfolding purposes? The conversation explores Paul’s deep loyalty to Israel, the misunderstanding of his message, and the central role of resurrection in his ministry. Drawing connections with Paul’s letter to the Romans, Tom reflects on how Paul’s hopes for Jerusalem unravel—yet open the unexpected path to Rome. A rich discussion of law, identity, and God’s surprising sovereignty, as Acts takes a decisive turn. Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate Got a question for Tom?

    Is Christianity bad?! Has religion done more harm than good?

    N.T. Wright and Mike Bird and reunited together in person in Premier’s new London studios for a big Ask NT Wright Anything episode. Tom tackles a huge listener question: has Christianity actually done more harm than good? From crusades, slavery and abuse scandals to hospitals, human rights and the end of infanticide, he explains how to face church failures honestly without ditching Jesus. They then dive into the “coming of the Son of Man” – is Jesus coming or going in Matthew, Daniel 7 and the Olivet Discourse? And finally, Tom unpacks Romans 9-11: who is the “Israel of God”, why isn’t all Israel saved yet, and how do we avoid antisemitism and replacement theology? Plus a sneak peek at an upcoming bonus episode on the church and the Jews.Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateStart going deeper in the Bible with a free trial at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠logos.com/NT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 Refer a friend to become a subscriber like you - they can get 10% off by clicking here (Embed URL: https://askntwright.supportingcast.fm?sc_promo=ASK10)SOCIAL LINKS: Twitter: https://twitter.com/unbelievablefeFacebook: / https://facebook.com/premierunbelievable Instagram: / https://instagram.com/premierunbelievable Tik Tok: / https://tiktok.com/@premier.unbelievable Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Anglican Communion at Breaking Point? NT Wright Reflects

    Gafcon, Canterbury and the Future of the Communion in this special bonus episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, N.T. Wright joins Mike Bird to unpack the latest turbulence in global Anglicanism. Why has Gafcon (traditionalist Anglican provinces defending biblical orthodoxy) declared it is no longer in communion with the Archbishop of Canterbury – and even claimed to be the true Anglican Communion? Tom draws on his decades as priest, bishop and member of the Windsor Report to explain how we got here, what “communion” really means, and why disputes over sexuality, authority and now a female Archbishop have become so explosive. We explore the history of the Anglican Communion, the role of Scripture, culture and power, and ask whether there is still a path to unity in Christ amid deep disagreement. A candid, pastoral conversation for anyone confused by Anglican infighting in the church. Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate Got a question for Tom?

    Why does the New Testament show so much demonic activity? and why are so many young Christians turning to high church traditions?

    Demonic activity in the New Testament, the surprising rise of “high church” worship, and whether Christians should be keeping Saturday as the Sabbath…This week on Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom and Mike tackle three big and very different questions. First: Did Jesus’ arrival trigger a surge in demonic activity, and should Christians today expect to encounter the demonic? Tom draws on decades of pastoral experience (including licensed diocesan exorcists!) to explain how the New Testament frames dark spiritual powers and why neither fear nor fascination is the right Christian response.Next, they explore why so many young Christians are moving toward “high church” traditions—liturgy, sacrament, structure, and beauty, and how to discern wisely between Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, Catholic, and low-church evangelical expressions.Finally, Tom unpacks the Sabbath controversy: If the Bible commands Sabbath on the seventh day, why do Christians worship on Sunday? What changed between the Old and New Testaments? And should we still keep a weekly day of rest in a Sabbatarian sense?Another rich episode (we hope!) full of biblical grounding, pastoral wisdom, and Tom’s signature clarity.02:24 Why does the New Testament show so much demonic activity?18:34 Why are so many young Christians turning to high church traditions?30:41 Should Christians keep Saturday as the Sabbath?
