Easter Special: NT Wright on the Resurrection: History, Theology & Why It Still Matters

This Easter, Tom Wright and theologian Mike Bird explore the bold claim at the heart of Christianity: that Jesus truly rose from the dead. Mike raises the modern skepticism - how can we believe in resurrection when we know dead people don’t come back? Tom offers a robust response rooted in Jewish messianic hope, early Christian belief, and the bodily resurrection as essential to the identity of Jesus. They unpack key Scriptures, contrast Gnostic and early Christian views, and delve into why the resurrection affirms creation, love, and God's ultimate victory. 📌 This is part one of a two-part conversation. In part two, Tom discusses the real-world implications of the resurrection for the Church and Christian mission today.
