    N.T. Wright on church councils, biblical righteousness and Jesus’ Ascension

    Can Christians challenge the decisions of historic church councils? What did Paul mean by the “righteousness of God”? And what actually happened when Jesus ascended into heaven?Tom Wright joins Mike Bird to explore three major questions from listeners.Tom explains why the great Christian creeds remain important while insisting that Scripture, not any theological system, has primary authority. He then unpacks the rich biblical meaning of righteousness, from Abraham and Phinehas to Romans and 2 Corinthians, and explains why no single English translation captures everything the biblical words convey.Finally, Tom tackles the physical reality of Jesus’ Ascension. Rather than imagining heaven simply as somewhere above the clouds, he argues that the Ascension points towards the biblical joining together of heaven and earth in Christ.Support & Subscribe👉 Support thought-provoking conversations and help keep the show going at www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate💡❓Got a question for Tom?

    Have Christians misunderstood Jesus and Judaism? | Tom Wright

    Did Christianity inherit a distorted picture of Jesus, Judaism and the early Church? Tom Wright and Mike Bird explore the enormous influence of German theologian Adolf von Harnack and his claim that Jesus represented a pure spiritual religion which emerged from Judaism before the early Church complicated his message with Greek philosophy. Tom explains why he thinks that story gets both Jesus and Christian origins wrong. Jesus was deeply rooted in the Jewish hopes of his time, yet radically reshaped them around God’s kingdom, peace, enemy-love and the fulfilment of Israel’s scriptures. And why, Tom asks, would Jesus and Paul have caused such controversy if their message was simply about having “peace in your heart with God right now and go to heaven when you die”? A fascinating deep dive into Jesus, Paul and the story Christians tell about their origins.

    Is the Rapture really biblical? Apostles, prophets and sacraments

    Is the Rapture really biblical? And if friends or family strongly believe in it, should you try to change their minds? Tom Wright and Mike Bird revisit one of the most debated ideas in modern Christian eschatology. Tom explains why he believes 1 Thessalonians 4 has often been misunderstood, and why the New Testament points instead towards the return of Jesus, resurrection, renewed creation and Christ coming “to rescue, to rule, to reign”. They also ask whether apostles and prophets still exist today, with Tom warning against spiritual authority becoming authoritarianism. Plus, does it matter whether Christians call baptism and communion “sacraments” or “ordinances”? Tom explores why these practices point towards the biblical hope of heaven and earth coming together.

    Is Jesus eternally the Son of God?

    Is the “eternal generation of the Son” really biblical, or did later Christian theology become too dependent on Greek philosophy? Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle one of Christianity’s most contested doctrines, exploring John 1, Colossians 1, Proverbs 8 and the way the earliest Christians understood Jesus within Jewish monotheism. Tom argues that later debates can sometimes lose sight of the vivid biblical world in which God acts within creation, keeps his promises to Israel and ultimately comes among his people in Jesus. Mike explains why the early church developed the doctrine in the first place, and why abandoning it too quickly may create new theological problems. A deep dive into Jesus, the Trinity and what happens when biblical theology meets later Christian philosophy.

    Why would God tell Israel to kill its enemies? The Book of Acts and the missing end of Mark's Gospel 

    How can the God revealed in Jesus command acts of violence in the Old Testament? And what should Christians do with some of the Bible’s most troubling passages?Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle three major biblical puzzles in today's episode. First, why does Mark’s Gospel appear to end so abruptly, with the women fleeing the empty tomb in fear? Tom explains why he believes Mark’s original ending — and perhaps even its original beginning — may have been lost.Then, what is the book of Acts actually for? Is it simply a history of the early church or a manual for mission and church planting? Tom argues that its real hero is the gospel itself, as the message of Jesus travels from Jerusalem all the way to Rome.Finally, they confront violence in the Old Testament. Tom considers divine judgment, Israel’s own failures and why these disturbing stories ultimately have to be read within the larger biblical story that reaches its climax in Jesus and the cross.Support & Subscribe👉 Support thought-provoking conversations and help keep the show going at www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate💡❓Got a question for Tom?

    Make the Ascension Great Again? Christ the King, Politics, and the Power of Worship

    In this bonus episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird take a deep dive into the modern Feast of Christ the King. Originally instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925 to confront rising secularism, fascism, and communism, this relatively new festival was later moved to the final Sunday before Advent and widely adopted by other traditions. Tom argues that the true biblical feast of Christ’s kingship is actually Ascension Day, when Jesus is enthroned as Lord of heaven and earth—and that shifting our focus to a “Christ the King Sunday” at the end of the church year subtly implies Jesus only becomes king at the end of history. Along the way, they explore how misunderstandings of Christ’s present reign leave a dangerous vacuum in our political imagination, opening the door to authoritarian leaders, Christian nationalism, and the deification of the state. They also reflect on “No Kings” protests, the presidency as quasi-monarchy, and why reclaiming the Ascension might be the most radical political act of Christian worship today.

    Should I feel guilty for not going into ministry? Baptism, calling and Adam & Eve

    What does Jesus mean when he says we must be “born of water and Spirit”? Should Christians feel guilty if they pursue an ordinary career rather than full-time ministry? And why does Paul seem to blame Adam rather than Eve for the entrance of sin?In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird begin with John 3 and the relationship between baptism, the Holy Spirit and new birth. Tom places Jesus’ words within the wider biblical story of creation, Exodus and the renewal of God’s people.

    Have Christians misunderstood salvation?

    Is Christian salvation really about escaping this world and going to heaven when we die? Tom Wright and Michael Bird explore how the Bible’s story of salvation stretches from the Old Testament through Jesus, the resurrection and the life of the Church. Tom explains why first-century Jewish hopes were focused not on leaving creation behind, but on God acting to rescue, renew and restore his world. Drawing from Tom Wright's latest book God's Homecoming https://amzn.to/4q0ae2i they discuss the influence of Greek philosophy on Western Christianity, why many believers struggle to connect the Old and New Testaments, and how Jesus transforms ideas of temple, land, Sabbath and the people of God. What changes when salvation is understood as God’s homecoming rather than humanity’s escape?
