Andrew Wilson, blogger at Think Theology and one of the pastor-elders of King’s Church Eastbourne in England, interviewed Tom Wright at the Think Conference - 23rd May 2013. Wilson asks NT (Tom) Wright a series of popular theological questions.
I particularly appreciated Wright's answer on the 'new Marcionism', and generally his erudite, charitable, witty answers. Marcionism is a third century Christian heresy that says that the Old Testament portrays a different 'god' than the New Testament does. Wright highlights that this thinking pops up from age to age, and is alive and well today. He combats it by splitting the issue into two questions: Is there continuity or discontinuity in the revelation of God in the OT and NT? Is it possible to align a kind forgiving loving merciful God with the judgmentalness of God and various atrocities - mainly in the OT?
It's a great listen to a great Christian thinker. Enjoy!
