That Jesus and not forgiveness is at the heart of the 'gospel' rings so true for me. I came into the Christian faith through John 10:10 "I have come to give you life, life in all it's fullness", not through any verses about sin. That fullness of life attracted me and caused me to both follow and commit myself to Jesus. And in that first commiment I experienced the love of God. Then in as I grew, I learnt what Christ had done for me on the cross.  Today, 50 years later, I well understand about repentance and forgiveness, but for me the nub of the  'good news' is still the life that is found in living in a relationship with Jesus as Lord.

Let's see what Paul says the gospel is in 1 Corinthians 15:
"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures."

This is wonderful.  So  happy to be alive during a time where you can hear things like this so easily any time you want!

The Gospel presented by st. Paul: 1. Corinthians 15:2-4... Christ died for our sins, he was buried, he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. It can be argued that changed lives are consequence of repenting and accepting the Gospel. Also this can be presented as integral part of the Gospel so people can know that once they accept the Gospel as preached above their lives will be changed.

jesus came into galilee preaching the gospel of the kingdom of god,.this is the gospel ,the whole gospel,that jesus is the king of this world when he comes to claim it, after satans rule is over.jesus said his kingdom was,nt of that time,but in the future,when he will return,and every eye shall see him, and those that pierced him.

Love this guy! So articulate and passionate and insightful. None of this tight lipped western fundamentalism.

He said to "soak yourself in the scripture". Paul was a pharisee. He memorized all of the scriptures (Genesis to Malachi) There were over 200 messianic prophesies contained in the scriptures that referred to Jesus, & yet he persecuted & tortured The Christian believers. He knew all of the scriptures, but they did nothing for him. Meeting Jesus Christ in Acts 9 is what changed Paul. He states in Phil 3, that all of his religiosity was rubbish compared to 'Knowing' Jesus Christ. We get to know Him by repentance & surrendering our lives to Him. Not by reading 'about' Him. Soak yourself in the Holy Spirit until out of your innermost being will flow rivers of Living Water.... Shalom

SALVATION for the unbeliever/sinner for today (the dispensation of the grace of God Almighty,  Ephesians 3:2,) is in the book of Romans 3:24, 25, 26, in the Pure, All Truth, and All Authority…KING JAMES BIBLE (John 10:34,35, & Titus 2:15,).  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness:  that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

I like how he explains the meaning of the gospel in depth.  He's not preaching in this video, he's simply explaining the gospel in a much deeper way, and Most critics who criticize him for that seem to be misunderstanding this fact.  What the critics are hung up on is how he's " wording" his statements and how he doesn't seem to be" preaching" what they think he ought to be preaching.

please pay attention to how he's EXPLAINING the gospel rather then criticizing what they misunderstand.

I disagree with his statement that the renewal of our minds is not something we do on our own by thinking about something. It's about the work of the spirit. Yes, we should preach the gospel to ourselves each day because doing so keeps us walking in the spirit. Preaching the gospel to ourselves keeps us from being conformed to the world. That's the point of Rm 12:2. Being saturated by the gospel makes us able to walk according to the spirit. It's the power of the gospel via the Holy Spirit that renews us, not us "thinking things through" as he says a 1:00.

I love this man's wisdom and insight.

Amazing !!!!!!

The true meaning of the Gospel ! THANK GOD FOR NT WRIGHT!!!!!!!

this is great stuff. I appreciate the upload. May God continue to be glorified through the spread of His Word, and men and women stepping up to stand firm for their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

This video is very subtle in the heresy of the New Perspectives of Paul. Many people can be decieved by what appears to be good in it. Anyone who would ask, what do you mean by that, you need to be careful.

His presentation appears to be pretty good. To those who say his theology is bad, i must say that you are probably not a retired Anglican bishop. while he is. to those who say man has no part in salvation, i say you should read the old testament. without it, the new testament makes a whole lot more sense. to make it clear to folks who speak of the "New perspective on St. Paul", the bible makes it rather clear that works do matter, just not in terms of getting into heaven. Jesus himself will reward us according to our fruit.

Paul's gospel was a mystery that had not been revealed to the 12. The 12 preached the good news to the Jew concerning Jesus as the Christ and the restoration of the kingdom, as promised, Paul preached the good news to both Jew and Gentile of Christ in you. Not the same message, yet both true.

Good stuff, If you have a problem with this go read your bible some more.

He's too vague. He didn't say how one can get saved.

The new perspective is heretical. End of story. Its another gospel.

Where do you get off calling the new perspective a heresy? Please stop being so closed minded.
