In academia, he is published as N. T. Wright, but otherwise tends to be known as Tom Wright.〔See, however, for example, and 〕 Between 2003 and his retirement in 2010, he was the Bishop of Durham. He is now Research Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at St Mary’s College in the University of St Andrews in Scotland. Among modern New Testament scholars, Wright advocates for the necessity of scriptural evidence in regards to views on theological matters such as justification, Christ’s bodily resurrection and second coming. Additionally, he has expressed opposition both to the ordination of openly gay Christians and the blessing of same sex partnerships and marriages as occurs in the US Episcopal Church.〔 The same piece is also available on the (Fulcrum website ).〕 However, he has criticised the idea of a literal rapture,〔.〕 traditional Christian views on life after death,〔.〕 co-authored a book with his friend Marcus Borg, a widely known voice of liberal Christianity, and is associated with the Open Evangelical movement and New Perspective on Paul, both of which are seen as controversial in many conservative Protestant evangelical circles. ==Early life== Wright was born in Morpeth, Northumberland. In a 2003 interview, he said that he could never remember a time when he was not aware of the presence and love of God and recalled an occasion when he was four or five when "sitting by myself at Morpeth and being completely overcome, coming to tears, by the fact that God loved me so much he died for me. Everything that has happened to me since has produced wave upon wave of the same." He was educated at Sedbergh School, then in Yorkshire, Wright specialised in classics. From 1968 to 1971, he studied ''literae humaniores'' (or "classics", i.e. classical literature, philosophy and history) at Exeter College, Oxford, receiving his BA with first class honours in 1971. During that time he was president of the undergraduate Oxford Inter-Collegiate Christian Union. In 1973 he received a BA in theology with first class honours from Exeter. From 1971 to 1975 he studied for the Anglican ministry at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, receiving his (Oxford) MA at the end of this period. He was later awarded a Doctor of Divinity (DD) degree by Oxford University. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「N. T. Wright」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
