Abstract

The writings of the prominent biblical scholar N. T. Wright are much debated upon throughout the world. His currently in progress ‘Christian Origins and the Question of God’ series intrigued some and pleased others. There are a lot of articles and books evaluating either positively or negatively his writings. This is all because of the huge amount of information and of the carefully constructed methodology that permits Wright to continue his project despite the critiques brought against him. This article strives to offer a positive account of Wright’s project, having its focus on his methodology. The author suggests that the key of understanding his methodology lies in his theory of reading the New Testament texts and the history related to them. It is further suggested that this theory of reading pushed Wright toward the well-known category of ‘worldview’. This puts him in the position of bringing together the ‘then’ and the ‘now’ worldviews which, in the author’s view, constitutes the major contribution of Wright’s project.
