Well, hello and welcome to the podcast that brings you the thought and theology of New

Testament scholar and former Bishop of Durham, Tom Wright. This is just in head of theology

and apologetics for premier unbelievable and the show brought to you in partnership as

usual with Tom's UK publisher SBCK and NT Wright online who published Tom's video teaching

courses. And it's a hot and sweltering UK that we bring you this week's show from

we've had record temperatures. But I hope it's been bearable even temperate wherever

you're listening to the show from and today on the show we're asking how do I reconcile

evolution, the fall and original sin. Tom will be responding to questions including if

evolution is true, then physical death existed before the fall but how do we reconcile

that with scripture and how do we reconcile evolution with the concept of a first man

and woman and original sin. And it did the fall also affect the rest of the universe.

By the way, had a lovely message this week from Hannah's who said, I'm thrilled to be

part of the unbelievable and ask NT Wright anything family. Although I've studied theology

and also completed a master's degree in death related counseling, it was really exposure

to NT Wright's teaching that caused transformation in my heart and mind. I've actually followed

NT Wright, John Lennox, Justin Dallas Willard and many others on the unbelievable show. I wish

to thank Justin and especially NT Wright for opening my spiritual eyes, a wonderful experience,

the real Jesus, the truths about the kingdom, the background of the first Christians and

refreshing perspectives on the various issues pertaining to the New Testament. It certainly

was not my experience during the time of my studies, most regrettable. The wasted years

must be been owned but also transformed to a brand new time of understanding. Gosh,

I'm so grateful that the show has been helpful on your particular journey, Hannah's. And
