Welcome to a special Easter edition of Ask NT Wright Anything, where we dig into the historical and theological foundations of the resurrection of Jesus. New Testament scholar Mike Bird joins Tom Wright to raise some tough questions - like why, historically speaking, resurrection is such a radical claim, and whether it can be anything more than a statement of faith. Tom responds by exploring how early Christians understood the resurrection not as a metaphor, but as the bodily vindication of Jesus as Messiah. He highlights the Jewish context, the use of Scripture like 2 Samuel 7, and how this shaped the Church’s understanding of Jesus’ identity, God’s love, and victory over death. This is part one of a two-part Easter conversation. In the second half - free for now but shortly available exclusively to subscribers of Ask NT Wright Anything - Tom continues his seminar with Mike and explores the implications of the resurrection for the Church today and Christian mission. 👉 Head to AskNTWright.com for more details and to subscribe.

Tom Wright and Dr. Mike Bird dive into deep theological questions in this episode, tackling Inclusion Theology, Universalism, Predestination, and the question of Free Will. 💡 Is salvation universally available? Does predestination mean some are excluded? How do free will and God’s purposes coexist? Tom and Mike unpack these complex questions, shedding light on biblical perspectives that emphasize transformation, assurance, and the church’s role in reflecting God’s image in the world. Key themes in today's episode: Why determinism vs. free will is often a misleading debate. How predestination is about God’s purpose, not exclusion. The Holy Spirit’s role in salvation and human responsibility. Why the New Testament presents salvation as both universal and personal. The Biblical view of the soul vs. Platonic philosophy. 🎧 If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about election, inclusion, or what it means to be human in God’s plan, this episode offers fresh insights to challenge and encourage your faith.

A bit of a twist today as we answer listener's questions that have come in asking: are we meant to take Satan literally? Join Tom Wright as he unravels some of the intricate threads of the New and Old Testaments to uncover the biblical portrayal of the devil. We're looking at some of the questions and looking at biblical passages where Jesus confronts and challenges the forces of darkness, asking what role does the Devil play in affecting ministry and what power does Satan really have? Do we over-think the devil and the supernatural when we avoid heavy metal music, particular pop stars or ban Harry Potter books - where is the line between genuine caution and a kind of 'satanic panic'? What practices should we avoid that should be recognised as 'evil'? And remembering Jesus' ultimate defeat of Satan and death on the cross. Enjoy this thought-provoking discussion that we hope sheds some light on this complex and often misunderstood (or sometimes avoided) topic of 'evil', 'satan' and 'the devil'.

Are near-death experiences real? Do they give us a glimpse of the afterlife, or should we approach them with caution? What does it mean to live faithfully as a Christian? And who really has the authority to forgive sin— the individual believer, the priest or the church? In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, NT Wright and Mike Bird explore these listener questions, tackling the theology of near-death experiences and whether these experiences point to an afterlife, discussing the calling of all of us in our everyday Christian lives and fields of work, and the power and limits of forgiveness in the church.

Tom Wright dives into heaven, the rapture, and the nature of hell through the lens of Christian eschatology in this thought-provoking episode. They address the dangers of sensationalism in interpreting scripture and emphasize the importance of viewing these topics within the broader narrative of God’s new creation. 💡 Does God send sinners to eternal torment? Where is heaven exactly? Can baptized Christians who fall away from faith still face hell? How can we be certain of our salvation? These crucial questions are explored, alongside key insights into dispensationalism, misunderstandings about the rapture, and the relational reality of heaven. ✨ The conversation also unpacks: The restrained New Testament view of hell as tragic loss, not eternal torment. Comfort from biblical texts like Romans and Isaiah for those struggling with faith or anxiety. The enduring connection between heaven and earth in biblical theology 👉 Whether you’re wrestling with questions about salvation, curious about the nature of hell, or seeking a deeper understanding of Christian eschatology, this episode offers clarity, hope, and encouragement.
