Nicholas Tom “N.T.” Wright is recognized as one of the preeminent New Testament scholars of this era. He’s a former bishop of Durham and has taught at Oxford University and St. Andrews in Scotland. He has written more than 80 books and specializes in analyzing the writings of St. Paul, most recently about his letter to the Ephesians.
Shortly before the publication of the book, The Vision of Ephesians, Wright talked to TIME about how contemporary churches are ignoring biblical advice to cross cultural boundaries, how Christians are misunderstanding the Bible on heaven, and the hardest part of the New Testament to translate accurately.
