From our Interview with N.T. Wright on the Historical Jesus, this clip answers the question: Marcus Borg [of the Jesus Seminar] says that it doesn't really matter what happened to Jesus' body; rather that a new day or new age had dawned, and that is what was being proclaimed. What is wrong with that kind of thinking?

  • Tom Wright does a great job at reading the New Testament in light of its historical context. The goal of good interpretation is to get at the heart of the writer's intent, to know what it meant to the original readers. And, to do that well means one has to read it in light of its historical-cultural context as best as possible. According to NT scholar Gordon Fee, "a text cannot mean what it never meant." The NT was written in the 1st Century CE, in a Greco-Roman world, from a Jewish perspective.
