    Paul’s Shipwreck: Why Acts 27 Matters for the Gospel’s Journey to Rome

    In this bonus episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird turn to one of the most dramatic sections of the Book of Acts: Paul’s perilous sea voyage to Rome and the famous shipwreck of Acts 27. Far from being a biblical version of Gilligan’s Island, Tom explains how Luke’s vivid nautical detail serves a deep theological purpose. Drawing on Jewish symbolism of the sea as chaos and danger, Tom shows how this episode functions as a crucifixion-shaped climax in Acts, mirroring Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem in the Gospels. Along the way, they explore Luke’s historical accuracy, Paul’s surprising leadership in crisis, and how the language of “salvation” runs through the entire narrative. A rich reflection on suffering, faith, and how the gospel reaches the heart of the empire. Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate Got a question for Tom?

    Paul Before King Agrippa: “Are You Trying to Make Me a Christian?” Paul and Agrippa Acts 25 & 26

    In this bonus episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird turn to one of the most dramatic courtroom scenes in the book of Acts: Paul’s defence before King Agrippa II - the great grandson of Herod the Great. As Paul recounts his conversion story for the third time, the focus sharpens on a striking exchange - Festus declares Paul mad, while Agrippa quips, “Do you think you can persuade me to become a Christian so quickly?” Tom unpacks why this moment matters politically, theologically, and historically. Agrippa knows the prophets, understands Jewish hopes, and recognises the Jesus story. But what would it have meant for a king of the Jews to accept Paul’s gospel? The conversation explores Paul’s mission to the Gentiles, the clash of rival loyalties to Jesus and Caesar, and the tantalising “what if?” of Agrippa’s response. A rich reflection on power, persuasion, and the kingdom Paul proclaims. Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate Got a question for Tom?

    Why doesn’t the Bible punish men for adultery?

    Why does the Old Testament sometimes appear to treat women unfairly in cases of adultery? What was the purpose of the Nazirite vow, and why would anyone choose it? And what does it really mean to say that Christ is “present” in the Eucharist?Today, N.T. Wright and Mike Bird dive in on Ask NT Wright Anything to answer your three challenging and deeply human questions about law, holiness, and sacrament. Tom explores how Israel’s legal codes functioned within their ancient social world, how Jesus radically reframes judgment and mercy, and why Christians no longer apply Old Testament penalties in the same way. He then reflects on the Nazirite vow as an ancient form of radical consecration, an Israelite counterpart to later monastic devotion. Throughout, Tom insists that Scripture must be read as a coherent story rather than isolated proof texts, and that Christian faith is shaped not by abstract theories but by lived practices: meals, vows, forgiveness, and embodied worship.SOCIAL LINKS: Twitter: https://twitter.com/unbelievablefeFacebook: / https://facebook.com/premierunbelievable Instagram: / https://instagram.com/premierunbelievable Tik Tok: / https://tiktok.com/@premier.unbelievable Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateGot a question for Tom?

    Justice, Power, and Fear: Paul’s Trial Before Rome (Acts 24–25)

    In this bonus episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird continue their deep dive into the Book of Acts, focusing on Acts chapters 24 and 25. The discussion explores Paul’s hearings before the Roman governors Felix and Festus, highlighting themes of justice, corruption, political expediency, and the early Christian understanding of law and authority. Tom Wright unpacks Paul’s bold proclamation of faith in Jesus the Messiah, his teaching on self-control and the coming judgement, and the striking parallels with John the Baptist before Herod. The episode also reflects on Paul’s appeal to Caesar, the role of resurrection in Christian witness, and what Acts teaches believers today about faith, government, and integrity under pressure.

    What was John the Baptist doing when he baptised Jews before Jesus’ ministry began?

    Do ordained ministers have “more” of the Holy Spirit than lay people? What exactly was John the Baptist doing when he baptised Jews before Jesus’ ministry began? And are the Thirty-Nine Articles still fit for purpose today? Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle three questions that sit at the heart of church life, theology, and Christian identity in today's episode of Ask NT Wright Anything. Tom explains why ordination is not about spiritual hierarchy but authorised service, why the Holy Spirit belongs fully to the whole people of God, and how clergy exist to equip, not outrank, the church. He then situates John the Baptist firmly within Israel’s story of exile and hope, showing how baptism functioned as a powerful symbol of repentance and new Exodus rather than an early version of Christian conversion. Finally, Tom reflects candidly on the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England: why they were written, what they were trying to hold together, and why many of their answers belong to 16th-century debates rather than today’s questions. Throughout the conversation, Tom calls the church back to Scripture as the supreme authority, urges humility toward our theological inheritance, and reminds us that reform is not rejection—but faithful listening across time.
