NT Wright quote from Simply Christian

Posted by Rick in Theology, Eucharist (Thursday June 29, 2006 at 11:09 pm)

The Bible is, in short, the staple diet of Christian worship, as it is of Christian teaching. But, as one of the most famous stories of scripture makes abundantly clear, even scripture isn’t the very center. When the risen Jesus met two disciples on the road to Emmaus, their hearts burned within them while he talked about the Bible. But their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, when he broke the bread.

    good stuff…how is that book? The title sounds like a brand name to me. And that’s a good thing, I think.

    Thought about you today…I went to a contemporary Methodist service, then to R.C. Mass. I’d been looking fwd to Mass at the Cathedral in Houma all week. It was great. And at the same time frustrating…I feel so…adenominational….does that make sense? like being apolitical?

    We’ll have to have a beer when you get back to Funroe and talk more about your worship institute. That all sounded glorious.

    […] In one of the talks, he mentioned a quote from N.T. Wright and didn’t say where. But, oh, the joys of likeminded bloggers! I found the quote online. (Emphasis mine.) […]

    It does not necessarily follow that their recognizing Jesus when he broke bread means Scripture is not the Center of the Bible… it’s a non-sequitur.

    To say Rachel is hot and makes cute kids is vilifying and diminishes her as a person, making her nothing above an aesthetically-pleasing, baby-making machine. That is wrong. Afterall, God did not make machines, no matter how pleasing they are to the eye.
