Can anyone read the Bible objectively? Ask Tom Wright Anything

In today's podcast Ask NT Wright Anything, Mike Bird and Tom Wright tackle listeners’ questions on marriage, biblical interpretation and Tom’s future writing projects. Tom explains why, in Simply Jesus, he describes the union of man and woman as a signpost to the coming together of heaven and earth, drawing on Genesis, John 2, Ephesians 5 and Revelation 21. He also reflects on how marriage points beyond itself to God’s ultimate new creation. Mike and Tom then explore how Christians can develop a genuinely biblical lens while recognising the cultural assumptions that shape every reader. Finally, Tom shares updates on possible forthcoming books, including work on the Gospels, mission, Philippians, and a more personal project on lessons learned over fifty years.
