Biblical correct
For some years now I have read books by the famous new testament scholar and professor N.T Wright.
I have done some classes online and even met him when he last were here in Sweden in 2013.
His new perspective on Paul is both interesting, refreshing and in one way confusing.
The Bible is a living book, the more you read and study it, more and more you discover and it is great that you get help on the way doing so by the many theologians out there.
But, I've discovered that when you do so, study the Bible, change perspectives, writing about it, speaking about it, you will get followers but even opponents.
I would say it is very normal, but when it comes to Christianity it very often gets dirty. ( there are other areas where that happen as well)
N.T Wright have been accused for not being a Christian, for not being biblical, for being totally wrong, even dangerous.
He is told being deliberately disruptive and divisive. Pastors have told churches not to invite him or post anything from him
One theologian said he must be stoped!, some say he stole Christmas ( like the Grinch).
He is claimed to be a "false teacher".
I could not disagree more.
N.T Wright has been a Priest in the Anglican Church for many years, Bishop of Durham, Professor at the University of St Andrews.
If we in the Church are behaving just like they do in the secular world, how and why do you think people wanna join?
Remember that what you think, say, write today will be questioned in the future, perhaps even rejected. In other words be careful judging others, be sensitive and just, and let us all with an open mind take this journey together.
