Apostle Paul, N.T. Wright, and Supersessionism – The Debate

Last updated on: October 30, 2020 at 6:54 pm By Michael F. Bird

Last year Joel Kaminsky and Mark Reasoner published an article in Harvard Theological Review 112.4 (2019) on “The Meaning and Telos of Israel’s Election: An Interfaith Response to N.T. Wright’s Reading of Paul,” pp. 421-446. I thought they scored a few good points against Wright, but on the whole, I thought they were grossly unfair, putting the worst possible spin on Wright’s position, and I think they got a lot wrong about second Temple Judaism and the apostle Paul. So I wrote a rejoinder which HTR has... Read more

Interview with Dan Gurtner about the Pseudepigrapha

Last updated on: October 15, 2020 at 6:25 pm By Michael F. Bird

Here is my interview with Dan Gurtner about the pseudepigrapha and how you can know more about it with the help of his book Introducing the Pseudepigrapha of Second Temple Judaism. When a student asks, “What is the pseudepigrapha?” What do you say? First, I congratulate them if they pronounce the word correctly! It’s not a very common word, and it is frequently both mispronounced and misunderstood. Generally, these are writings that celebrate some figure from Israel’s past. I say “generally”... Read more

Lee C. Camp Scandalous Witness: A Little Political Manifesto for Christians Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 2020. Available at Eerdmans and Logos Previously I’ve looked at Darrell Bock and Tremper Longman’s books on Christianity in politics, both are from what I would call the “principled conservatism” side of the political spectrum. In this book, Lee Camp offers a manifesto for Christian political engagement, and he is from the slightly more progressive neck of the woods. For Camp, Christian identity and convictions are in...

Available from Koorong and Hendrickson Disability ministry and mission is ordinarily treated as something niche or peripheral. And yet 1 in 5 people in the world have a disability of some kind.

Interview with N.T. Wright about Signposts in the Gospel of John

Last updated on: October 8, 2020 at 6:00 am By Michael F. Bird

Tom, your new book is called Broken Signposts: How Christianity Makes Sense of the World, largely based on the Gospel of John. What are these signposts and how do they help us make sense of the world? In my book Simply Christian I listed four features of human life and aspiration which I called ‘echoes of a voice’: justice, spirituality, relationships, beauty. I made the point that we all know these matter and we all know we mess them up — and... Read more

The Fundamentalist War on Wokeness is a War on Christian Love (Updated)

Last updated on: October 17, 2020 at 2:30 am By Michael F. Bird

My daughter recently came to me late one night, rather upset, and she showed me a video that her Bible study had been watching, and it was rather staggering. In the video, a certain Jeff Durbin – who I’ve never heard of, but looks like he’s trying to do a 2005 Mark Driscoll impersonation – said: The woke evangelical whore is a slut who lies down in the middle a burning city, spreading her legs to the rioters and looters, spreading her...
