Top Ten NT Wright Pet Peeves:
10. “Manchester United is playing Leeds and I’ve committed the afternoon to preaching the gospel to arrogant modernity”
9. When people ask him “Will you sign my copy of ‘Dianetics’, Mr. Hubbard?”
8. When people come to a lecture on the “New Perspectives on Paul” movement and ask why there was no mention of John, George, or Ringo.
7. Critical reviews of his recent book: “How the Great Pumpkin Narrative Informs Christian Experience”.
6. During the Q&A time after completing a lecture on how the Torah has been retired, someone asks “Does this mean its OK to rob a bank?”
5. When “Who is NT Wright?” is the correct question on Jeopardy when the contestant says: “I’ll take ‘Snooty Superior Sounding English Theologians’ for $ 1000, Alex”;
4. Some student in the audience always giggles like a schoolgirl whenever he mentions the word “laity”.
3. When hedgehogs take up residence in the big pointy hat.
2. When, as he is about to start speaking at a lecture, some young American in the audience pipes up with “Can you do the fruity accent, dude?”
1. Cassock rot
