NT Wright: We Need to RETHINK ROMANS 8!

Historian, theologian and author NT Wright explains how he changed his mind on the meaning of Romans 8, and how it informed his book "Into the Heart of Romans". He also discusses with Justin why he thinks that many Christians miss the depths and richness of the Bible's message, and what he makes of the new wave of public intellectuals, such as Jordan Peterson and Tom Holland, showing a fresh interest in Christianity. 📘 Read a FREE CHAPTER from Justin’s book “The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God”: http://justinbrierley.com/get-justins-newsletter/ 🎁 Support Justin’s work financially: http://justinbrierley.com/support-me/ 🎧 Listen to The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God podcast: https://justinbrierley.com/surprisingrebirth/ NT Wright's book "Into the Heart of Romans": https://a.co/d/a2Y0SQx 00:00 Intro 00:37 “Into The Heart of Romans” 05:41 The missing “5th Act” of the Bible 08:15 More than “personal assurance” 11:57 Re-translating Romans 8-28 17:27 Why synergy matters 19:42 Calvinistic objections 25:29 Did Paul realise the scope of his influence? 28:37 Have we lost the Christian story? 32:10 Changes in how we view New Testament history 40:23 “The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God” podcast 41:15 Jordan Peterson and Tom Holland’s influences 45:20 The Bible’s remarkable influence 48:40 Is there a rebirth of belief in God? 53:39 Watch next…!
