“Simply Christian” Video Series
October 19 – November 16, 2025 6:30 pm
What’s the heart of the Christian message?
Does Christian faith make sense in the modern world?
You’re invited to come explore questions like these in a series of studies based on the book, Simply Christian, by esteemed New Testament scholar and Anglican bishop N. T. Wright. Hailed as a spiritual classic and a modern-day equivalent to C. S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity, Wright’s work presents a fresh, compelling case for Christian belief in a secular age and provides a perceptive overview of the basic Christian message. Established believers will gain new insights through Wright’s provocative and original approach. Skeptics and doubters will go away with case to consider, presented in a gentle, reasonable way.
This class will meet Sunday evenings, October 19 – November 16 from 6:30-7:30 pm. Each session will include a short (15-20 minute) video presentation by Professor Wright summarizing one section of his book. There will then be opportunity for questions and discussion. The book will be made available to participants, but having a copy is not necessary to benefit from the class.
