Ask NT Wright Anything

N.T. Wright is probably the most widely read New Testament scholar alive, and this weekly show from Premier Unbelievable gives listeners the chance to put questions directly to him. The format is exactly what the title promises. Host Justin Brierley collects questions from listeners around the world and reads them out to Wright one by one, letting the former Bishop of Durham respond at whatever length the question deserves. Some answers take ninety seconds, others stretch to twenty minutes, and the back-and-forth between Justin and Tom (as Wright asks to be called) gives the show a conversational warmth that a straight lecture would never manage. Topics range from first-century Jewish context and the meaning of resurrection to practical questions about prayer, suffering, church politics, and how to read Paul without getting lost. Wright is famous for arguing that heaven is not the final destination Christians usually think it is, and those big-picture ideas come up often, but he is equally happy answering a teenager's question about doubt or a pastor wrestling with a specific passage. The show has been running since 2018 and has built an archive deep enough that almost any question you might bring to it has probably already been addressed somewhere. Episodes average around thirty minutes, which makes the weekly release schedule manageable even if you want to catch up from the beginning. If you want substantive theology delivered in an unhurried British accent by someone who has spent fifty years reading Greek, this is a rare gift of a podcast.
