Wright has been profoundly influential in changing the way I look at mission and eschatology-- his writings and lectures took me from "I'll fly away, oh glory" to anticipating a new heaven and a new earth where God sets things to rights. It has given me a renewed sense of purpose in what the church is supposed to be doing. His remarks here on virtue really strike me as a crucial component of this-- I'm definitely going to listen to the audio of his talk. Thanks! N.T.

Wright is a major influence for me as well, and actually I got to hear him speak as well, a couple years ago at Calvin Seminaries January series, so I understand the excitement. He ended up sitting right in front of me, I shook his hand, he signed my copy of “Paul in Fresh Perspective”, and I was more or less the theology student equivalent of a Trekkie for a few minutes there lol. The lecture he gave there was I think three hours on the Sacraments, and was brilliant, not that I expected anything less. N.T. Wright page has the audio if you're interested.

Meeting a man like Tom Wright had to be an amazing experience. By the way, The Meaning of Jesus is a fantastic book!
