Summary

What does the bodily resurrection really mean for Christian faith? How do we live out true discipleship? And how should we talk about God in relation to gender? In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird explore the resurrection of Jesus as the cornerstone of Christian belief, pointing to new creation and God's justice. They discuss the daily realities of discipleship, emphasizing forgiveness, growth, and faithfulness. Finally, they tackle the question of God and gender, affirming that while Scripture often uses masculine language, God transcends human categories, and our language should reflect His compassion, mercy, and self-giving love.Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donate Got a question for Tom?
