CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Well, I am not familiar with this guy, but this is what an AI said: A good place to start with N.T. Wright's books would be "Simply Christian: Why Christianity Makes Sense" or "The New Testament and the People of God." These two books provide a great introduction to his scholarly yet accessible style and offer an overview of his views on the historical context and theological message of the New Testament. After that, you could explore some of his other popular level works such as "Surprised by Hope," "How God Became King," or "Paul: A Biography." For those interested in more academic treatment of specific topics related to biblical studies, there are plenty of options too like "The Resurrection of the Son of God" series and many others depending upon your interest and prior knowledge about the subject matter.

Wright uses two names on his literary works. As Tom Wright the books are aimmed at the general church goer. His academic works are as N T Wright and are aimed at theologians. If you are new to his work I recommend starting with Tom Wright as these books are easier to source and less costly than the purely academic works.

I came here after searching for threads on N.T. Wright. I'm about half way through "Paul, a biography". And so far I really like it.
Regarding N.T. Wright vs Tom Wright, I have read that the difference is used in the UK, but that in the USA they are all sold as N. T. Wright.

I have gotten to a point in my life that I can't slow down and read a book. So I got it on Audible and listen to it when I am doing other things. I can get through stuff much better that way.
Best wishes,
KT

I see that the last post was several months ago, but I thought I'd add Tom Wright's podcast to this thread. It's called Ask NT Wright Anything. You can find videos of the podcast on YouTube.
