The Public Life of the People of Christ: A Study of Philippians with Prof. N.T. Wright

Join us for a 5-day Live Webcast series February 15th through 19th from 11 AM to 1 PM CST. Participate in two live lectures each day with a 10 minute Q&A with Professor N.T. Wright.

 

About this Event

The people of Christ can be found in schools, government, entertainment, and of course, on social media. With the world watching, we need a robust biblical theology guiding how we participate in public life. Prof. N.T. Wright invites you to plumb the depths of Philippians to discover a Scriptural foundation for being the people of Christ in the public sphere.

These live lectures cover the wonder of the work of Jesus as seen magnificently in Philippians 2:6-11. They will also address the practical daily life applications of what it means to be a ‘citizen of heaven’ as Paul states in Philippians 3:20.

Paul writes from prison and isn’t sure whether he will be executed or released. Nonetheless, the Epistle is known for the joyous outlook that Paul communicates to his readers. We will enter into this world where the ‘private walk with Christ’ meets with the ‘calling for public engagement’ with the outside world.
