Ten years ago, I was given a thick book by N.T. (Tom) Wright, now Bishop of Durham. Since then I have read several thousand pages of his writings (only a small part of his prolific output!). And I still don’t know what to make of him.
Is he a heretic, whose distorted gospel is all the more dangerous because he writes not only scholarly tomes, but popular, engaging books for ‘the man on the street’? Or is he a brilliant expositor whose explanation of the New Testament and the gospel is ground-breaking and hugely significant?
