Christopher J.H. Wright Lectures at Covenant Seminary


[Reposting from May 18th with updated links]

Christopher J.H. Wright was the featured speaker for the 2009 David C. Jones Theology Lectures at Covenant Seminary. The two evening lectures posted here are well worth a listen!

In the lecture entitled Reading the Whole Bible for Mission Wright gives an excellent 1 hour survey of the entire biblical narrative and shows how the whole Bible is a missional phenomenon. In a way, I felt like Wright summed up much of what I have learned in my OT and NT classes over the past 3 and a half years in this one lecture.

The final lecture of the night entitled Building Bridges - The West and the Rest was very challenging. Here Wright's lecture has challenged me to think further and has challenged me to act on much of what I have learned from my time at Covenant Seminary regarding the multinational, multi-direction mission.

Lecture 1 Marks of a Missional Church can be found here.
