I've learned such a lot about key points in the bible and their overall meaning for God'a plan to 'tabernacle' with his people. The discussion between God and Moses; God's forgiving love again and again; his plan to protect his people in the story of Ester (the king couldn't sleep that night); the promise to David that God would build him a temple (in the coming of the Messiah Jesus - already in God's mind at that time). I've noted down the lectures to read them again from time to time - to support my continued learning from the bible. Thank you!

I don’t know if I fit your target for I am a catholic priest and Dominican brother. I’ve been following different courses from N.T. Wright and every time I have been challenged and encouraged in my faith. Theses courses have deepen my understanding of Scriptures, deepen my love for the Church and expended and renewed my preaching. Thank you very much for putting of theses courses online and giving us access to the mind and work of N.T. Wright. Certainly a future « doctor of the Church ».

I have not been able to do it daily as I had hoped, but I have been enriched nonetheless.

exciting, very promising
By Iain Greenshieids on 8/5/2020
I used this as study leave and will now go on and develop 14 questions that I want to reflect on and write up based on what I have studied.
Loved the presentation, the content and the focus - very refreshing.
By Michael Anderson on 7/27/2020
Too much to say, Professor Wright covers so much! I now have many notes that I will be reviewing. It would have been great for Prof to have a final 3 min lecture over the scope of these key verses, how they all flowed into the on grand narrative. Anyway, thanks so much. I have a MA from Bethel Seminary in San Diego, and found Prof Wright's lectures and observations extremely insightful and personally beneficial.
By Stewart Combs on 7/22/2020
The course has the potential to help us clearer see the continual presence of God and his redemptive purposes culminating in Jesus.
