Summary

Will we ever see an OT Wright translation to match NT Wright's New Testament for Everyone? Tom explains why an Old Testament version isn’t on the cards—but offers a witty alternative involving his son! The conversation moves on to remarriage, exploring whether we’ll still relate to our spouses in the same way in the new creation, and how Jesus’ words in the Gospels shape our understanding of life after death. Finally, Tom responds to a heartfelt question about whether God favours Jewish believers over Gentiles, unpacking Paul’s theology in Romans and affirming the radical equality found in Christ. This episode is rich with pastoral wisdom and biblical insight, not to be missed.Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateGot a question for Tom?
