Look at the bottom of the Amazon page for one of NT Wright’s books:
Says who???? Based on what???? What nonsense. Calling Wright the world’s leading NT scholar is like calling Rick Warren America’s Pastor. I realize Amazon wants to sell books and they can be forgiven for unfounded and silly exaggeration- but Newsweek has jumped the shark and rightly belongs under the same umbrella as ‘The Daily Beast’, along with whatever reviewer (probably a sports journalist) who wrote that silly line.
Ummmm … I was going to try for some kind of a joke about a group of scholars walking in a line with him in the lead, but even that requires that he be a scholar, and … well, … “the world” is still tough to justify.
So … no. Just no.
Come on Jim, you know Tom is amazing…. who else will give you zombies?
don’t like your new format btw…not that it matters
