N.T. Wright on Resurrection Theories
By Rick Hogaboam On April 4, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Apologetics, Christology, Resurrection, Theology
I’m loving my new N.T. Wright acquisitions via the Logos March Madness 75% sale and have hit the road reading. Here is an extended passage from Surprised by Hope, where Wright responds to the more popular resurrection theories:
There are many smaller arguments which might be brought in at this point, [...]
Luke: Belief, A Theological Commentary on the Bible (Belief: A Theological Commentary on the Bible) by Justo L. Gonzalez
While all the Gospels have frequent eucharistic references, none has more than Luke. As already remarked, Jesus appears to eat his way through the Gospel of Luke. He is repeatedly at a banquet or at a [...]
Jesus’s use of Isaiah 6:9-10 in describing his use of parables has presented a challenge for many interpreters in understand the intent or purpose of parables. Isaiah said,
Isaiah 6:9–10 (ESV) — 9 And he said, “Go, and say to this people: “ ‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not [...]
Wright, N.T. 1999. The Challenge of Jesus: Rediscovering Who Jesus Was and Is. Inter Varsity Press: Downers Grove, IL
N.T. Wright is the most interesting man on the earth – or close to it. He is considered a fundamentalist to the liberal academic guild and considered a [...]
I haven’t been disappointed with anything I have read from Keller and have always thought that his books were well worth the cost and deserving to remain in the bookshelf for future reference. “King’s Cross” didn’t disappoint.
“King’s Cross” is a survey through the Gospel of Mark that [...]
Well, it took the UK Times to break yet another story on a Barack Obama relatives who lives in a less than “hopeful” situation (pun intended). See: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article5042571.ece

With all due respect to my Jewish friends and readers, I wish to contend that Yom Kippur points to the Messiah, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who is the solely sufficient mediator for our sins. While on this high day, when many repent of their sins and seek absolution [...]
This 9th review will cover Dr. Lioy’s treatment of John 6 in his monologue. He subtitles this section, “Jesus as Torah Offers the Bread of Life”. Lioy notes that Jesus shifts his ministry from Jerusalem to Galilee, which immediately leads to the miracle of feeding a great multitude. [...]
Chapter 5 “Jesus as Torah in John 5-6” Part 1 (Examining treatment of Jesus as Torah in John 5) Dr. Lioy views a shift in John’s emphasis from chps. 1-4 as emphasizing Jesus as the eternal Tanakh against the backdrops of Jewish [...]
After watching this movie, my first impression was, “What was the big deal about this movie?”. I was thinking, “It was entertaining, had some good performances, but what made it praiseworthy to the academy?”. I know these comments are considered blasphemy for many who loved this flick, but I am simply sharing [...]
The Samaritan Woman’s Conversation with Jesus as Torah (John 4:1-26)
Lioy makes two suggestions of how Jesus is seen as Torah in His encounter with the Samaritan woman that I find intriguing. First off, Lioy points to Ng (2001), who in “Water Symbolism in John: [...]
Jesus as Torah Teaching Nicodemus (John 2:23-3:21)
This incident, in my estimation, is persuasive to Lioy’s premise that Jesus is Torah. Nicodemus was a Pharisee and member of the Sanhedrin. Lioy also notes that Nicodemus was “Israel’s teacher” (p. 89). Lioy comments, “This reference has [...]
“Jesus as Torah Clearing the Temple Courts” (John 2:12-22)”
Now talk about extremes– Jesus first miracle is performed quietly and privately, while the clearing of the temple courts is loud and very public.
Lioy dialogues with some of the various views [...]
Dr. Lioy would like to encourage interested readers of Rick’s blog to recommend Jesus as Torah in John 1-12 to acquisition librarians in their area. Often, the latter are very open to receive suggestions for new titles to include in their library holdings, and this involves [...]

The blogger, “Stand and Be Counted”, posted the following in response to my book review of Lioy’s “Jesus as Torah” (http://endued.wordpress.com/2007/12/21/book-review-part-3-of-dan-lioys-jesus-as-torah-in-john-1-12-chp-3-jesus-as-torah-in-john-1/#comment-209):
Interesting…never who the label Torah for Jesus before. Why not just use the term John uses “the Word of [...]
Dr. Lioy engages the 1st chapter of John’s gospel to expound the premise of this volume that Jesus is Torah. Lioy mentions that one of John’s intents in authoring this Gospel was to confront false teachers who denied [...]

A response was issued Pastor Joe LaMay, as pasted below. Joe responds in blue italics below that. For more information on part 1 of the dialog, check this link: http://endued.wordpress.com/2007/11/27/did-god-die-on-the-cross-by-guest-blogger-joe-lamay/
Dear Joe, Thanks for your answer and the time you took to write it.
You answer below appears to have [...]

That’s what my response to an email is about.
Yesterday I preached on the Incarnation of Christ: One Person, Two Natures ( see audio [...]
