I have been writing a weekly post interacting with the thought of N.T. Wright for some time now. I have done this for two reasons: (1) I think he is provocative and he has challenged me to think anew about many things. (2) These subjects that he has addressed make great discussion starters, which for a blogger is essential. But I think it is time to end the weekly interaction with the great N.T. Wright.
Why? Well, I read other books and articles by other authors enough that I don’t always have a lot to say. Also, I fear that at times the artificial setting of a singular, short blog post allows for a sort of heresy hunting to occur. If someone doesn’t like the four hundred words that I copy here this suddenly becomes justification for writing off Wright. Let me remind readers: A blog post is a blog post is a blog post. There is much more to Wright’s project than what can be read here.
I am not done reading Wright, nor am I done blogging, so there will be post in the future, but not weekly post.
Amen! N.T. Wright is one to be read first and foremost. And way too much pop culture theology statements about NTW.
@Fr. Robert: I hope these post introduced people to some of the interesting things Wright addresses, but overall there is only so much that can be said on a blog. Now it is time for people to go read the books if they have not already!
Brian,
Agree, I am not negative toward Wright overall, nor your posting of him. But I suspect few bloggers have really read him in depth however. But perhaps more his lighter stuff.
@ Fr. Robert: I suspect the same thing.
