2026-07-26T23:00:00+01:00

Can someone else’s faith help bring us to Jesus? What really happens after Christians die? And why did Jesus keep healing people on the Sabbath?

In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird answer three thoughtful listener questions about faith, death and the meaning of Jesus’ Sabbath miracles. Along the way they explore corporate faith, the Christian hope of resurrection, and how Jesus fulfils Israel’s vision of God’s new creation.
