THE NEW TESTAMENT AND THE PEOPLE OF GOD - 13 Jesus, Paul and the Jewish Stories
by SPCK - N T Wright
Jesus, Paul and the Jewish Stories The parable of the Wicked Tenants, obviously, does not stand alone. Telling stories was (according to the synoptic gospels) one of Jesus’ most characteristic modes of teaching…
How God Became King - 3c Jesus the Perfect Sacrifice
How God Became King - 3c Jesus the Perfect Sacrifice
by SPCK - N T Wright
Jesus the Perfect Sacrifice A fourth inadequate answer has tried to tie the first and the third together. The aim is still to get us to heaven, but Jesus is not just the moral exemplar – his perfect life means that he can be the perfect sacrifice…
How God Became King - 4c Matthew: The Story Reaches Its Goal
How God Became King - 4c Matthew: The Story Reaches Its Goal
by SPCK - N T Wright
Matthew: The Story Reaches Its Goal The most obvious place to begin is right at the beginning – with the genealogy with which Matthew opens his book. Most of us, I suspect, probably skip this when we decide to read the New Testament right through for ourselves…

How God Became King - 6 The Launching of God’s Renewed People
by SPCK - N T Wright
The Launching of God’s Renewed People This brings us nicely to the third speaker in our sound system. Like the second one, this third one has often been turned up far too loud. This has meant both that the music it is quite properly trying to play has itself been distorted and th…

Meeting God in Paul - 3b The image of God in us
Meeting God in Paul - 3b The image of God in us
by SPCK - Rowan Williams
The image of God in us But there’s more to it, because of course what St Paul is evoking is not a Jesus who simply sits on the throne of heaven and receives our prayers, but a Jesus who – because his own life in time and eternity consists entirely in pouring out praise and love t…
Meeting God in Paul - 2d The healing sacrifice
Meeting God in Paul - 2d The healing sacrifice
by SPCK - Rowan Williams
The healing sacrifice I spoke in the previous chapter of how in his letter to the Romans Paul is, as it were, turning his head from side to side, saying, ‘You think you’ve got the point? Think again. And [turning rapidly] don’t you imagine that because they haven’t got it, you’re…
Mere Apologetics - 7b Opening the Door to Faith
Mere Apologetics - 7b Opening the Door to Faith
by SPCK - Alister McGrath
Opening the Door to Faith First, this approach is not well-grounded in the Bible. Truth, especially for the Old Testament, primarily designates reliability and trustworthiness. The apologetic issue is that God is a secure base, a place of safety on which to build the life of fait…
