Here are the latest details for The Newbign Network’s next meeting Looking at N.T. Wright’s account of “How can the Bible be authoritative?”

One of the reasons (there are many) I find Tom Wright’s scholarship so exciting is that his agenda is not ‘nonviolence’, it is exegetical and historical integrity to the Scriptures. It is precisely N.T. Wright’s agenda of historical and scriptural integrity that makes his presentation of the centrality of nonviolence to the agenda of Jesus so powerful.

I’m a huge N.T. Wright fan. There are many theologians that have been a major influence of my life, Walter Brueggemann, John H. Yoder, Walter Wink, J. Denny Weaver, Glenn Stassen and many more. But in terms of historians and New Testament scholars, I find no one as helpful as Tom Wright for his ability to communicate to conservative Christians the biblical and historical implications of what God has initiate in Jesus.
