Is Jesus God? Obviously, religions differ. But what about within the Christian religion? Is there a unified view of Jesus? Jesus before his human birth? Jesus during his human lifetime? Jesus when dead? Jesus when resurrected? Jesus now? The question is surprisingly complex. One need not be a Christian to appreciate the philosophical conundrums.
Nicholas Thomas Wright FRSE, known as N. T. Wright or Tom Wright, is an English New Testament scholar, Pauline theologian and Anglican bishop. He was the bishop of Durham from 2003 to 2010.
