God's Gender, Resurrection, and True Discipleship
The latest episode of ANTWA has dropped
Hey friends, my sabbatical starts on Tuesday, when I’ll be diving deep into reading and writing, preparing for some international speaking gigs, and taking a general break from academic admin.
This week in ANTWA, we have great questions.
Can the resurrection be reduced to a metaphor?
True and false discipleship - how do you tell the difference?
Does God have a gender?
That last question is a doozy, and I pitch to Tom the problem of a Catholic Church in Brisbane which had a bunch of baptisms annulled because they were done in the name of the Creator, the Redeemer, and the Renewer rather than the normal way of in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Would you annul them? Listen to the podcast and then let me know in the poll!
There is also a bonus episode on Simon Magus in Acts 8 for subscribers to the show.
In this bonus episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Mike Bird and Tom Wright explore the explosive events of Acts 8 and 9. What does Simon Magus teach us about money, power, and the seduction of spiritual shortcuts? How should we understand the dramatic arrival of the Holy Spirit in Samaria, and what does it mean for church unity today? Plus, Tom unpacks the Ethiopian eunuch’s reading of Isaiah and Saul’s shocking encounter with the risen Christ. Along the way, expect reflections on televangelism, charismatic gifts, multicultural churches, and how biblical scholars are like Philip running alongside modern-day chariots. All this and more from Tom’s latest book. A must-listen for students, seekers, and serious Bible readers.
New video, I look at Mark 9:1/Matt 16:28 about the kingdom of God coming in power before the disciples died!
