Periodically I've mentioned the work of N.T. Wright, Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Durham and prominent New Testament scholar, in conversation, Bible study, or a blog piece (eg., For All the Saints book review by Susan Norman, Sharing and Bearing the Pain quote from WQOTW, N.T. Wright on Justification). Some of you have been curious regarding his work. If you'd like to familarize yourself with his understanding of Biblical authority, I'd recommend this article. Note: the material in this piece has been developed further in The Last Word. Regarding reading the Scriptures from the perspective of the critical realist, I'd also recommend pp.44-46 of The New Testament and the People of God, see a quote in yesterday's The Path of Wisdom. In the same book (pp.141-3), he explores his understanding of the Biblical story as a five act play.

I have piece which builds upon this perspective and attempts to articulate how I envision daily living, hope to update it in future to include the influence of Dave Bailey, but here's Indwelling the Biblical Story: A Philosophy of Education in Theory and Practice in its current form.
