Ask NT Wright Anything

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? And what will happen to the earth in God’s new creation?In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle big questions on eschatology, faith, and new creation. 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. Along the way, they challenge common misunderstandings shaped by Western traditions and offer a hope-filled vision of God’s future.

What happens at the End of the Age?

Mike Bird and Tom Wright take on three wide-ranging listener questions. First: should Christians work out? Tom reflects on how physical health connects with the life of the soul, and whether Scripture points toward a holistic vision of body and spirit. Next: why is the Bible authoritative? Is it the church’s decision, the content of its teaching, or the work of the Spirit? Tom unpacks how authority is best understood through the story the Scriptures tell. Finally: the unforgivable sin. What does Jesus mean, and how should Christians approach such a troubling saying? Tom offers pastoral guidance shaped by context, hope, and the Spirit’s ongoing work.Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateGot a question for Tom?

Tom, Should We Work Out? Why Is The Bible Authoritative?

Mike Bird and Tom Wright dive into another round of thoughtful listener questions. First: how do you go about choosing a church? Tom lays out wise principles for discerning a community rooted in the gospel, shaped by worship, and committed to mission. Next: catechisms. From centuries-old confessions to modern teaching tools, Tom shares which one has shaped him most and why. Finally: a weighty question on God’s character. Did God create billions of people only to condemn them? Tom wrestles with how Scripture frames judgment, mercy, and the ultimate purpose of creation, offering hope that rests in God’s love and justice.Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateGot a question for Tom?

Did God create 100 billion people just to send them to hell?

Mike Bird and Tom Wright take on three big listener questions. First: how do we actually cooperate with the Spirit in God’s plan for new creation? Tom reflects on what it means to anticipate heaven and earth being joined, and how our present faithfulness participates in that future hope. Next: ordination and church leadership. Are we in danger of over-structuring the body of Christ? Drawing from the New Testament and church history, Tom considers why ordination emerged and what it means for today. Finally: egalitarian roots and resurrection hope. Were the earliest churches more like Corinth’s fluid gatherings? What about para-church movements? And in Revelation 20, what sort of resurrection is Peter really speaking about? Tom explores continuity, community, and the call to live as people of the age to come.Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateGot a question for Tom?

Should Church Leaders Be Ordained? Are We Needed To Usher In The New Creation?

Mike Bird and Tom Wright tackle three big listener questions. First: did Jesus know he was God—and if so, in what sense? Tom explores how Jesus reframes what we mean by “God,” drawing on the Gospels and Philippians 2. Next: contemplative practices. From the Jesus Prayer to the Daily Office, Tom offers gracious guidance on praying in ways that keep Jesus at the centre while avoiding rigid one-size-fits-all rules. Finally: sacred places and “thin” places—can locations carry a memory of God’s presence? What about dark places marked by evil? With stories from Switzerland to Lindisfarne, Tom reflects on holiness, discernment and hope.

Can you lose Salvation? Why do churches keep splitting? What is covenant theology?

What is the Bible really — and who decided which books belong in it? Can we trust the Gospels if they don’t always agree? And when should tradition shape how we read scripture, and when should we challenge it?In this Big Bible Episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird dig into big, timeless questions about the canon of scripture, how inspiration works, and why apparent contradictions in the Gospels don’t undermine their truth. They unpack how tradition and fresh interpretation must stay grounded in the historical context of the text, and why the church must always be, as Tom says, “semper reformanda” — always reforming around the Bible’s authority.Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateGot a question for Tom?
