NT Wright at Georgetown

filed in internet

Hear N.T. Wright in person at the next Veritas Forum at Georgetown University (Washington, DC):

Simply Christian: Why Christianity Makes Sense
Friday, October 20, 2006 7:30pm
St. William’s Chapel, Copley Hall

N.T. Wright, Bishop of Durham—Church of England

N.T. Wright is Bishop of Durham for the Church of England (northeast England includes 290 parishes). He is one of today’s leading theologians and biblical scholars and author of Jesus and the Victory of God, which is widely regarded as one of the most significant studies in the contemporary “Third Quest” of the historical Jesus. N. T. Wright has taught New Testament studies for twenty years at Cambridge, McGill, and Oxford Universities. Among his many published works are The Challenge of Jesus, The Meaning of Jesus (with Marcus Borg), and What Saint Paul Really Said.

For two thousand years, Christianity has claimed to solve the great mysteries of life—Why do we expect justice? Why do we crave spirituality? Why are relationships so painful? Most important, How will the world be made right? N.T. Wright will lead us in an exploration of these questions and their connection to the heart of who God is and what he wants from us.

    L.L., I’d like to go, but I attend a small group on Friday nights. :( I think Veritas is pretty good about recording their talks, so there’s a good chance this’ll get recorded and made available online at http://www.veritas.org/3.0_media/index.php

    [...] N.T. Wright will be at Georgetown University at a Veritas Forum Friday, October 20th. If I were there, I’d think I’d find a way to go. Veritas events are exciting. [...]

    I was out of town, so I wasn’t able to go myself. But one blogger, Geoff, did write up his summary of the lecture and his conversation with N.T. Wright at the book signing: http://groundtoglory.blogspot.com/2006/10/nt-wright-and-new-creation.html [ht: ntwrites.com]
