N.T. Wright - a man who is making me think
A theologian I have a lot of respect for (even if he is a little dry at times) is N.T. Wright. He has gotten me thinking about a lot of things, and if you are into reading or listening to some of this lectures, check out his website
Known to many as Bishop Tom, (N.T.) Wright is the Bishop of Durham of the Anglican Church and a leading British New Testament scholar. Ordinarily he is known as "Tom Wright", although his academic work has always been published under the name "NT Wright" (Nicholas Thomas). He is generally perceived as coming from a moderately evangelical perspective. He is associated with the so-called Third Quest for the Historical Jesus, and the New Perspective on Paul (a complex movement with many unique positions, originating from the probing works of James Dunn and E. P. Sanders). He argues that the current understanding of Jesus must be connected with what is known to be true about him from the historical perspective of first century Judaism and Christianity. from Wikipedia
