    Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey: What Homer reveals about Jesus and the New Testament

    Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is already one of the biggest cinematic events of 2026, earning $264 million worldwide in its opening weekend and giving the acclaimed director the biggest global debut of his career. So why does a story written almost 3,000 years ago still speak so powerfully today? In this timely bonus episode, Tom Wright and Mike Bird explore the remarkable connections between Homer's Odyssey and the New Testament. They examine how Luke's account of Jesus and Paul's journeys would have resonated with readers steeped in Homer's world, discuss the biblical meaning of hospitality, temptation, suffering and spiritual conflict, and ask whether the Gospel presents the true fulfilment of humanity's greatest epic. Whether you're intrigued by Christopher Nolan's blockbuster or fascinated by the Bible's engagement with the ancient world, this episode reveals why Homer's masterpiece still helps us understand the story of Jesus in fresh and unexpected ways.

    Why was Jesus so cryptic? Is divorce ever OK? Does Isaiah 53 predict Jesus? And which theologian is hardest to understand?

    Why did Jesus often speak in riddles instead of plain language? What should Christians make of divorce in light of Jesus' teaching? And how should we understand Old Testament prophecies about Christ?In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird explore three challenging questions that sit at the intersection of biblical interpretation and pastoral wisdom.Tom explains why Jesus' teaching often appeared mysterious, showing how his parables confronted first-century expectations about God's kingdom rather than simply hiding the truth. He then offers a thoughtful and compassionate response to one of the most painful subjects Christians face today: divorce and remarriage. Finally, Tom explores Isaiah 53 and explains why biblical prophecy is far richer than a series of isolated predictions, revealing instead the larger story of God's purposes culminating in Jesus.Support & Subscribe👉 Support thought-provoking conversations and help keep the show going at www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate💡❓Got a question for Tom?

    Why Visiting the Holy Land Changes How You Read the Bible

    What changes when you read the Bible in the places where its stories actually happened? In this bonus episode, Tom Wright and Mike Bird reflect on their experiences in the Holy Land and why walking the landscape of Jesus can transform the way we understand the Gospels. Tom recalls living in Jerusalem, teaching at the Hebrew University, praying at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the moment an ancient olive tree brought the historical reality of Jesus vividly to life. They explore why books and maps, valuable as they are, cannot fully replace standing on the Mount of Olives, travelling through Galilee or experiencing the heat of the Dead Sea. Tom also reveals how his time in Jerusalem helped shape his landmark Christian Origins and the Question of God series.

    Does Bible prophecy require a third temple? Tom Wright on Israel, Jerusalem and the end times

    What would it mean if a third Jewish temple were built in Jerusalem? Would it fulfill biblical prophecy and signal the beginning of the end times, as some Christians believe? In this bonus episode, Mike Bird puts a provocative hypothetical scenario to Tom Wright: what if the Al-Aqsa Mosque were destroyed and replaced by a new temple? Tom explains why he believes Christians should reject the idea that rebuilding the Jerusalem Temple is necessary for God’s prophetic purposes. Drawing on Hebrews, the Gospels and the wider New Testament, he argues that Jesus is the true temple, the final sacrifice has been offered, and God’s presence is no longer centred on one sacred building or territory. Tom and Mike also explore dispensationalism, Israel, the end times and why these theological ideas can have dangerous real-world consequences.

    What Did Jesus Mean By "My Father's House"? How should we think about euthanasia, and what are the rewards of Heaven?

    What does the Bible really say about heaven, eternal rewards, and the future God has prepared for his people?First, they discuss the meaning of "treasures in heaven" and heavenly rewards. If the Christian hope is ultimately resurrection and new creation, why does the New Testament speak about rewards stored in heaven? Tom explains how heaven functions in Scripture as God's space, where future realities are kept safe until the day they are revealed.Together they address a deeply personal question from a physician about medical ethics, end-of-life care, and the value of human life. How should Christians think about assisted dying, premature infants, human dignity, and the image of God in situations where modern medicine reaches its limits?Finally, they explore one of the most beloved passages in the Bible: Jesus' promise that "in my Father's house are many rooms." Does this refer to heaven as our final destination, or is there a richer biblical vision at work?Heavily referenced in this episode is Tom's book: God's Homecoming, which you can purchase worldwide: https://amzn.to/4f9H92dSupport & Subscribe👉 Support thought-provoking conversations and help keep the show going at www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate💡❓Got a question for Tom?
