Esteemed New Testament scholar and Anglican bishop NT Wright
joins David Gornoski to discuss the pandemic and Christ's role in
shaping governance and justice. The iconic theologian puts the
pandemic into perspective from what Paul wrote in his letter to the
Romans. Dr. Wright points to how the early church revolutionized
the way we think about our fellow human beings by caring for the
poor and downtrodden and how those actions must be emulated in our
current age as well. But what about some of the questions that
split the churches right down the middle? Questions like: Should we
employ coercion in our attempt to care for the poor and educate
people? Can we implement the Sermon on the Mount in the world of
politics? Listen to the full podcast to hear the answers and
more.
