Description
This week we were joined by Biblical Scholar/Theologian/Former Bishop of Durham, NT Wright. Wright contends that there are a few 'signposts' that are inherent to humanity: justice, spirituality, relationships, beauty, freedom, truth and power.
If we do not live up to these ideals, our societies and individual lives become unbalanced, creating anger and frustration—negative emotions that divide us from ourselves and from God, he contends. Using the Gospel of John as his source, Wright shows how Christianity defines each signpost and illuminates why we so often see them as being "broken" and unattainable.
Drawing on the wisdom of the Gospels, Wright explains why these signposts are fractured and damaged and how Christianity provides the vision, guidance, and hope for making them whole once again, ultimately healing ourselves and our world. Enjoy!
