This week, we take up the subject of…N.T. Wright. Widely regarded as one of the most influential and best New Testament theologians of our day, we consider how best to read him and his impact on Christianity in the English speaking world.

The [NT Wright Page is the single best place online](http://ntwrightpage.com/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com) for more of his work. You might also consider looking at one of his many books (we mentioned a few in the show).
