    Why Christians Must Confront Antisemitism

    In this bonus episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle the difficult and urgent subject of antisemitism, asking how Christians should understand one of history’s oldest prejudices. Tom traces the roots of anti-Judaism back to the ancient world, explains the modern racial theories behind antisemitism, and reflects on the Church’s own failures. Drawing on Romans 11 and Paul’s image of the olive tree, Mike and Tom explore why Christians must never despise Jewish people, but instead show respect, repentance and friendship. They also discuss Israel, Gaza, Christian complicity, Pope John Paul II’s bridge-building visit to Israel, and how the Church can stand with Jewish communities today: “Not in our name.” A sobering, timely conversation on history, theology, repentance, responsibility, Christian faith and hope for today.

    More than marriage, how to find a true biblical lens and what's Tom's next book?

    In today's podcast Ask NT Wright Anything, Mike Bird and Tom Wright tackle listeners’ questions on marriage, biblical interpretation and Tom’s future writing projects. Tom explains why, in Simply Jesus, he describes the union of man and woman as a signpost to the coming together of heaven and earth, drawing on Genesis, John 2, Ephesians 5 and Revelation 21. He also reflects on how marriage points beyond itself to God’s ultimate new creation. Mike and Tom then explore how Christians can develop a genuinely biblical lens while recognising the cultural assumptions that shape every reader. Finally, Tom shares updates on possible forthcoming books, including work on the Gospels, mission, Philippians, and a more personal project on lessons learned over fifty years.Support & Subscribe👉 Support thought-provoking conversations and help keep the show going at www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate💡❓Got a question for Tom?

    God’s Homecoming: N.T. Wright on Heaven, Earth, and the Temple‑Shaped Story of the Bible

    In this bonus episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Mike Bird talks with Tom Wright about his new book God’s Homecoming and the Bible’s central story: not us going up to heaven, but God coming to dwell with us. Tom explains how Genesis, the Psalms, the prophets, Jesus, the temple, and Pentecost all point to heaven and earth coming together and creation being filled with God’s glory. A concise, accessible introduction to why Christian hope is about God’s homecoming to his world, not our escape from it.

    Is Patriarchy part of the fall? Should Christians tithe? And are Oneness Pentecostals saved if they don't believe in the Trinity?

    What does Genesis really mean when it says a woman’s “desire will be for your husband and he shall rule over you"? Should Christians still tithe today? And are Oneness Pentecostals outside historic Christianity?In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle three major theological questions shaping modern Christianity.Together they explore Genesis 3:16 and whether the fall introduced distorted power dynamics into marriage. Next, the conversation turns to tithing: was the Old Testament tithe a permanent command for Christians, or part of Israel’s covenant life? Tom discusses the role of generosity in the New Testament and why Christian giving should flow from gratitude rather than obligation.Finally, Mike and Tom discuss Oneness Pentecostalism and the doctrine of the Trinity.Support & Subscribe👉 Support thought-provoking conversations and help keep the show going at www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate💡❓Got a question for Tom?

    Why I’m Still Anglican: N.T. Wright on Denominations, Charismatics and Rome

    In this bonus episode, Mike Bird asks N.T. Wright where he might have landed if Anglicanism didn’t exist - as a Methodist, Pentecostal, Baptist, Catholic or Orthodox. Tom shares stories of growing up in post‑war Anglicanism, the Lloyd‑Jones vs Packer/Stott split, the charismatic renewal and Alpha, and his friendships with Roman Catholics and Orthodox. He explains why he remains Anglican - “firm at the centre, flexible at the edges” - and what keeps him from crossing the Tiber or the Danube despite deep respect for other traditions.

    Has the Gospel reached the 'Ends of the Earth'?  Where's my transformation? Will my children be with me into eternity?

    In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Mike Bird and Tom Wright tackle three big listener questions that sit at the crossroads of biblical interpretation and pastoral care.First, they explore what Jesus meant when he said the gospel must be preached to “the ends of the earth” in Matthew 24:14, and how that relates to Acts 1:8, Paul’s mission to Spain, and the fall of Jerusalem. Is global evangelisation a trigger for the Second Coming, or have we misunderstood Jesus’ words?Next, they address the painful experience of not feeling spiritually transformed. Drawing on Romans, Galatians, and 2 Corinthians, Tom reflects on the gap between our ideals and our lived reality, the role of mental health (including OCD), and the importance of spiritual direction and wise pastoral care.Finally, they turn to a deeply emotional question: What happens when our children walk away from the faith? Tom and Mike wrestle with how to hope, pray, and trust God’s mercy when we fear an eternity without those we love most, and how to live in that tension without easy answers.Support & Subscribe👉 Support thought-provoking conversations and help keep the show going at www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate💡❓Got a question for Tom?

    Is Heaven Our Final Home? Tom Wright on God’s Homecoming and Christian Hope

    In this bonus episode, Mike Bird and Tom Wright discuss Tom’s new book, God’s Homecoming, arguing that the true Christian hope isn’t “going to heaven,” but heaven coming to earth. Tom shows how this vision runs through the Bible - from the tabernacle and temple to Jesus and the Holy Spirit - culminating in new creation. They also explore common misconceptions about the afterlife, the biblical focus on bodily resurrection, and why this matters for how we understand the church, the Eucharist, and the destiny of those who have died. If you’ve wondered what “new creation” really means, this is the episode for you.

    Biblical Theology vs Systematic Theology? Romans 7 explained and whether Calvinism is Biblical?

    Another three thorny questions tackled with clarity and depth by Tom Wright and Mike Bird this week. Grab a coffee and prepare for vintage NT Wright. First, they explore the difference between biblical theology and systematic theology, asking when each is most useful and why keeping close to the biblical text really matters. Next, Tom unpacks the much-debated “I” the "Wretched Man" in Romans 7, explaining why Paul is not simply describing the ordinary Christian life but telling a bigger story about Israel, Torah and the problem of sin. Finally, they tackle Calvinism, predestination, the five points of TULIP and the tension between divine sovereignty and human freedom.Into The Heart of Romans  https://amzn.to/4sq8aBXSupport & Subscribe👉 Support thought-provoking conversations and help keep the show going at www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate💡❓Got a question for Tom?
