N. T. Wright (Nicholas Thomas Wright), born December 1, 1948, is a British New Testament scholar, theologian, and retired Anglican bishop. He’s widely regarded as one of the most influential biblical scholars of the modern era. Wright studied at Oxford and taught at several major universities, including Cambridge, McGill, and Oxford. He served as Bishop of Durham from 2003 to 2010, one of the highest roles in the Church of England, before returning to academic life as a professor at the University of St Andrews and later at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford. He’s best known for his work on the historical Jesus, the Apostle Paul, and Christian origins. His “Christian Origins and the Question of God” series—especially Jesus and the Victory of God and Paul and the Faithfulness of God—has shaped scholarly and pastoral conversations worldwide. Wright argues for a historically grounded, theologically robust understanding of Scripture, often challenging both conservative and liberal interpretations.
