World-renowned theologian and author to discuss some of life’s most important questions, drawing from his decades of scholarship and ministry
St. Andrew Methodist Church is proud to announce that world-renowned theologian and author N.T. Wright will return to St. Andrew as part of the Dr. Scott L. Engle Lecture Series on Wednesday, November 4, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., in the sanctuary at 5801 W. Plano Parkway in Plano, Texas. Wright will speak on practical hope found in the Christian faith, followed by a Q&A moderated by St. Andrew Senior Pastor Arthur Jones. Together, they'll explore some of life's most important questions in an evening that takes both faith and doubt seriously.
“St. Andrew is thrilled to share this opportunity with the wider community,” said Rev. Arthur Jones, senior pastor of St. Andrew. “We all carry questions about God, faith, and the world around us. We all carry fear and worries; this night we will explore the hope that we have in Christ and ask the question: What is Christian hope really about, and how can I connect this hope to my everyday life?”
Professor Wright is a distinguished New Testament theologian, ordained Anglican Bishop, professor at the University of Oxford, and the author of more than 85 books. Known for his accessible and faithful explanations of the Christian message, Wright served as the Bishop of Durham from 2003 to 2010, one of the most senior positions in the Church of England. His unique combination of scholarly excellence, pastoral wisdom, and theological creativity has secured his legacy in 21st-century Christianity. Through his prolific writing and teaching, Wright invites believers into a renewed vision of the Kingdom of God – one that is ancient yet urgent, cosmic yet deeply personal.
In addition to his academic work, Wright – also known as Tom Wright – is widely celebrated for his writing for general audiences. His books, which bridge the gap between academia and the church, have inspired countless readers to think deeply about the implications of Christian faith in everyday life.
