Bishop N. T. Wright and Justification
information about

Bishop N. T. Wright and Justification


The Anglican Bishop of Durham N. T. Wright (commonly addressed as Tom) has written a great deal about the identity of the Church as the people of God called to challenge the reigning gods in the world around them. But while Wright is profoundly interested in questions of Church and culture, much that is written about his work concerns his understanding of soteriology, specifically the way he understands justification. If you're interested in a survey of the issues at stake, you may want to listen to a series of four lectures offered at the Center for Christian Study in Charlottesville, Virginia, and available for download online .
The lectures were given by Bill Wilder, director of graduate ministries at the Center. Wilder studied at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and at Union Theological Seminary in Virginia, and is the author of Echoes of the Exodus Narrative in the Context and Background of Galatians 5:18 (Peter Lang, 2001). The title for the series is The Doctrine of Justification in the Work of N.T. Wright, and the four lecture titles are I Love to Tell the Story: The Narrative Substructure of Paul's Theology; Adam, Israel, Servant, Christ: Does Covenant Theology Get it Wright? To Whom it Belongs: The 'Dis'puted Righteousness of God; The Importance of Definition: Righteousness, Justification, Faith & Works. [Posted April 2005, KAM]
