Is Online Church REAL Church?

In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Mike Bird and Tom Wright take on three big questions:First, a listener from Ohio asks how precise our beliefs must be to be “saved”. Tom reframes salvation away from “going to heaven when you die” towards God’s new creation and the defeat of death. They unpack Romans 10, baptism, assurance, and why faith is fundamentally entrusting yourself to Jesus rather than having a perfect theology.Next, they explore whether in Matthew 16 Peter himself is “the rock” or whether it’s his confession that Jesus is the Christ.Finally, they tackle why the virgin birth matters: Jewish expectations, Isaiah 7:14, pagan “divine birth” stories, and why the virgin birth points to God’s sheer grace, the initiative of the Trinity and Jesus’ true humanity shared with Mary.Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateStart going deeper in the Bible with a free trial at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠logos.com/NT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 Refer a friend to become a subscriber like you - they can get 10% off by clicking here (Embed URL: https://askntwright.supportingcast.fm?sc_promo=ASK10)

Was Peter Really the Rock? Did Mary Stay a Virgin?

In this episode, Tom Wright and Mike Bird field three big listener questions that touch the heart of Christian hope and daily discipleship.First, they explore what happens when we die — where do our loved ones go before the final resurrection? Tom explains what Scripture actually says (and doesn’t say) about “souls,” “heaven,” and “waiting rooms for the dead,” and why our hope is not escape from earth but the renewal of creation itself.Next, they reflect on whether we will know everything in the new creation, and how knowledge, love, and transformation intertwine in God’s future.Finally, they turn to biblical budgeting, asking how Christians in affluent societies can honour God with their money without being ruled by it.It’s an episode that spans heaven and earth; we hope you'll find this a dive into theology, that's thoughtful, practical, and full of hope.Chapters:00:00 – Where Do Dead Souls Go?11:24 – Will We Be Perfect in the New Creation?22:57 – How Should Christians Budget Biblically?Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateGot a question for Tom?

Where Do We Go When We Die?

Mike Bird and Tom Wright take on three weighty listener questions that dive deep into the Bible’s mystery, mercy, and meaning in this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, They begin by exploring the mystery of who wrote the Letter to the Hebrews, unpacking why the early church left the author anonymous and how that shapes our reading today. Next, they move to a deeply sensitive and much-debated topic — who goes to hell — where Tom challenges popular misconceptions about eternal punishment and invites listeners to rediscover the biblical vision of judgment, mercy, and renewal. Finally, they take on the question of the canon, asking whether Christians should read only the 66 books of the Protestant Bible or include the wider writings Tom often references in his work.From authorship debates to eschatology and biblical interpretation, this episode blends deep theology with pastoral wisdom, offering clarity and compassion in equal measure.

Who wrote Hebrews? and who goes to Hell?

Today on the Ask NT Wright Anything Podcast, Mike Bird and Tom Wright tackle three challenging listener questions that get to the heart of Christian theology and biblical imagination.Should we pray for Satan? Tom unpacks how centuries of Christian mythology have distorted biblical ideas of “the Satan” (the accuser), explaining why evil has no rightful place in God’s good creation,and what it really means when Scripture says Jesus “disarmed the powers.”Next, the pair discuss Jesus’ words to the thief on the cross — “Today you will be with me in paradise.” What does “paradise” actually mean in the Bible? Tom draws on ancient language and early church thought to clarify the difference between “life after death” and “life after life after death”, showing how the Spirit sustains believers in Christ’s presence until the resurrection.And our last question today is on the life of purification: what it means for God to prune and refine us, not as punishment but as preparation for holiness and fruitfulness. Tom uses the image of pruning from John 15 to remind us that when God cuts things away, He is often closest to us.Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateGot a question for Tom?

Help N.T. Wright! Please clarify salvation

​What did Jesus mean when he said his followers would do “greater works” than him? Does the ancient Filioque Clause (“and the Son”) still divide the church today? And what does it really mean to love God more than your family?

In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle three deep and very human questions - about miracles, the Trinity, and discipleship. Tom reminds listeners that real faith is costly, but never silent: ”The God who made the world has come forward to meet us in the person of his Son.” Whether you’re wrestling with theology or your own walk of faith, this episode bridges head and heart with vintage Wright insight.

Should we abandon our parents?

Does the Bible teach gender hierarchy? What did Paul mean by quoting Habakkuk — “the righteous shall live by faith”? And did Paul actually write all the pastoral epistles?Today on Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom and Mike answer your questions about gender, faith, and authorship in the New Testament. They unpack the Greek word for “submit” in Ephesians, showing how Paul emphasizes mutual submission in Christ, not domination. They then explore the rich meaning of Habakkuk 2:4, where “faith” can point both to God’s faithfulness and human trust. Finally, they address the debate over the pastoral epistles — stylistic differences, possible editorial hands, and why these letters still matter for the church today.Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateGot a question for Tom?

Bishops, Priests, finding a Church, and the Universalism Question

What does Ephesians teach us about God’s purpose for the church? Can we truly trust Scripture if it was passed down through oral tradition? And what role do public confessions of faith play in salvation?In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird dig into Tom’s new Book, The Vision of Ephesians, to explore Paul’s vision behind the text, the meaning of Sola Scriptura, and the reliability of the Bible’s transmission in a culture shaped by memory rather than print. They also reflect on the resurrection story in Matthew, unpack why public declarations of faith matter, but aren’t the whole story, and remind us that scripture’s authority ultimately points us to Jesus.Shop TOM'S NEW BOOK The Vision of Ephesians:UK: https://amzn.to/46l7KnDUS: https://amzn.to/3JVevotSupport us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateGot a question for Tom?

The Vision of Ephesians: What is “Sola Scriptura”?

What did Jesus mean by “the end of the age”? Does the New Testament teach salvation by faith alone, or do works matter too?

They unpack Jesus’ teachings about the temple and the “end of the age,” explain why faith and works are inseparable in the New Testament, and reflect on Paul’s vision of a world renewed when heaven and earth come together.
