In November, N.T. Wright gave a series of talks at the Harvard University Graduate Student Christian Fellowship entitled Reconstructing Hope. Here’s a link to each talk:
- Why Do Good in a Hopeless World?
- What is Good in a World that Defies Hope?
- Doing Good: What Plus Hope Equals Change?
I appreciated the content of the lectures, but what made it worth my time (and yours) the Q&A that followed each. The questions were varied and thoughtful, as were Wright’s responses. My own Christian theology has been shaped heavily by Wright, so it is intriguing to hear how his ideas are engaged by thoughtful students at Harvard. A few times, it seemed as if he stepped around some questions, but it was a matter of reframing questions that were posed from a different understanding of Christian perspective than what he holds.
