Bishop Wright finds it astonishing that Dr. Piper warns his readers NOT to take our knowledge of first-century Judaism too seriously. Bishop Wright argues that any reading of scripture that doesn't include an understanding of the world the Bible was written in will lead to interpretations riddled with anachronisms (falsely reading contemporary ideas into historical writings.) For example, modern readers often misinterpret the biblical term, Kingdom of Heaven, as referring to "a place we go to when we die." But ancient readers knew the phrase meant "the rule of heaven on earth." Part of an interview by Dr. Tod Bolsinger, Senior Pastor of San Clemente Presbyterian Church, at the Pastors Retreat of the Los Ranchos Presbytery held at the Serra Retreat Center in Malibu, CA. Bishop NT Wright is the Bishop of Durham in the Church of England.
