I ran across this post while doing research for my own blog. What I find interesting is that I had a similar experience while reading Wright. I thought I knew pretty much everything about the Gospels and the Good News. But Wright made me rethink everything. I kept saying to myself, “Where’s this guy been all my life?”

Read it for yourself. If Wright ever contradicted this in earlier debate, he certainly makes it completely clear in his volume on the Resurrection.

I’ll check my copy of the Wright-Borg book to see what is said there.

Second, if you want me to listen to James White, you don’t know me very well. Not a person I will read or listen to for any reason.

“Puritan”….if you have shown up in these comment threads to make a contribution, that is fine. But if your purpose is to promote James White and other people of his persuasion and to ridicule the posts here, I’m not going to put up with it forever. I’ve had my fill of the Truly Reformed police. Post away, but I hope there is more to your contribution than what I’ve seen so far.

First, I did not say that he wrote. (And of all the books he has written, the “for everyman” series isn’t very good or deep. I guess he catches his heretical statements in time for the publisher. LOL)

I said his “outlandish statements that ruin everything else he believes”

One more time while I am sitting down and being instructed. “Statements, statements, not books.”

Perhaps you should know that N.T. Wright rejects the historicity of the Lazarus story—he believes that Lazarus was only swooning. Begin listening to this Real Audio clip at 41:25.

Transcribed for those without Real Player:

Here, we have the miracle of Lazarus’ resurrection turned into the “miracle” of Jesus knowing what many other Jews already knew—that people sometimes seemed to be dead when they weren’t.

Yes Michael, you are right. It is very serious.

*comments on hold*

Im back. You are either mistaken, and need to check your sources, or you are passing along gossip without regard for the reputation of N.T. Wright.

And I quote:

“The present passage is one of the most dramatic moments in the whole story of Jesus. When Jesus raised Jairus daughter in Mark 5, he ordered almost everyone out of the room, and when it was over he told them not to tell anyone. Now he stands in front of a large crowd, puts his reputation on the line, and shouts to Lazurus to come out. (The tomb, like many of the time, was clearly a cave, with a large stone across its mouth.)

And the dead man comes out- a heart-stopping moment of shuddering horror and overwhelming joy, mixed together like dark mud and liquid gold. All this is hugely important. If we don’t feel its power, and find ourselves driven to awe and thanks and hope, then either we haven’t learned to read ro we have hearts of stone.

N.T. Wright, John for Everyone, Vol II, pgs 13-14.

So….do you have quotes for your accusations and claims? We need to see them, because your claims are serious and I have never heard them before.

For these and other reasons, I can never recommend him. I can find other sources that are just as good without being mislead with other beliefs, that sometimes borders on the insane or just plain dumb.
