NT Wright on Gnosticism, the Created Order, Gender and Trans Identity

In this thoughtful clip from the Ask NT Wright Anything podcast, NT Wright delves into questions surrounding transgender identity and gender 🌍✨, addressing contemporary issues with a lens informed by Christian theology 📖. Wright explores the concept of Gnosticism 🧩 as it relates to modern understandings of the body and identity, clarifying points from a previous article where he discussed these themes. Wright discusses Gnosticism's dualistic view — where spirit and body are separated —and clarifies that, in Christian belief, the created order is to be redeemed, not rejected. He highlights the biblical teaching that "the heart is deceitful above all things" (Jeremiah 17:9) and references Jesus’ words that it is from the heart that actions proceed (Mark 7:21).
