Done with another #NTWright’s course in @Udemy About the Course: ✅ Develop a deeper understanding of how the Lord's Prayer can enrich your daily life. ✅ Consider the deeper meaning that Jesus intended when he taught the disciples what we call the 'Lord's Prayer.' ✅ Explore the meaning of the Lord's Prayer in the greater context of Jesus' life and work. ✅ Incorporate #theLordsPrayer into your own spiritual practice to draw closer to God. 🙏🏼 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_wfCa9nVtE/?igshid=catch1krysmo

Wright: For goodness’ sake, read the four Gospels. That’s what they’re there for. And recognize that in the prayer Jesus taught us to pray: “Forgive us our trespasses.” You don’t just say that once, at the beginning of your Christian life. You jolly well say it every day, because you will need to. The trouble is that the Church is far too good at hoping that everyone else will be asking for forgiveness for their trespasses. Self-critique is part of the Gospel. And where the Church forgets that—oh boy, things go badly wrong.

Another little gem from #TomWright. . Does what it says on the cover, and does it well, all within the space of 78 pages. . @spck_publishing #NTWright #bookstagram #bibliophile #communion https://www.instagram.com/p/BwSf1uanFGs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l13nxhip3pqs

Finished reading #Paul: A Biography, by #NTWright (@spck_publishing). . For me this is not only one of N.T. Wright’s best books to-date, but also one of the most insightful books I’ve read about the Apostle Paul. It’s clear, thorough, it has historical depth, and it’s very readable (the flow and energy of the writing is perfect). . For those who have ever read Wright’s *Simply Jesus*, the style is similar here, and, I guess, this is his *Simply Paul*. Like it’s counterpart, this book be revolutionary for many; offering a view of Paul that will (hopefully) help others to grapple with his motivations and theology. . Of course, there will be the some people raising the questions, ‘Where’s the cultural evidence? Where’s the source criticism? Where is the actual historical research? etc. Well, Wright’s been an avid world-leader in that field of historical research for a few decades now; and has caused quite a stir as a result. For those who want that deeper study, you’ll have to delve into Wright’s four-part *Christian Origins and the Question of God* series. . What Wright has produced here however, is an accessible and illuminating reading of the life and mindset of Paul. It’s still stocked full of historical insights, which help us to place Paul and his writings within context, but the language is clear of research-heavy abstractions. Or, to put that another way, reading this is like listening to someone simply relaying the story, with the right amount of clarification here and there, and not like listening to someone giving a university lecture. . Overall, I think it’s simply brilliant. A must read, and a much needed biography. . Bravo, Mr Wright. Bravo! . —Tristan Sherwin, author of *Love: Expressed* . #bookstagram #bibliophile https://www.instagram.com/p/BwMO-50nmAS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iv82rbbo3k8f

“The thing about Easter is that it is neither ethereal nor esoteric. It’s about the real Jesus coming out of the real tomb and getting God’s real new creation under way.” N.T. Wright #ntwright #easter #hope #gospel #resurrectiion

First to sections are from the introductory chapters of The Day The Revolution Began by N.T. Wright. He doesn’t just dismiss the critiques of atonement, but listens and builds off them. The third section is near the end after he redefines everything about the cross and tells of The Revolution that took place and what it means to us. Highly recommended. #books #forjesus #ntwright (at Tower District Area)
