NT Wright at The King’s College in New York City
Back in April of this year The King’s College welcomed N.T. Wright to their Distinguished Visitor Series. He was interviewed by Marvin Olasky, then Provost of the college. In an hour or so of free-ranging questions, he talked about a variety of things, including his conversion, early college studies, marriage and child rearing, a bout with depression, the Jesus Seminar and so on. A good Q & A session was held and yours truly asked a question regarding the original manuscripts of the New Testament. I taped the session and present it for your consideration and comment. This audio was captured with a hand-held digital recorder. It was not captured in a controlled environment but if you listen closely I believe most of it will be clear to you.
Here is the link to the audio and some of the topics discussed and their time location (note: this is a new audio link directly from The King’s College audio feed on their website. I have removed my own recording so the time markers may be off somewhat).
