[MarkD (A Whateverist, not a Christian)]

Just excellent. I especially like the discussion about divine power from about 1:10:48 to the end at which point he says that we should be doing what Jesus did, in other words - following Jesus means following his example, not just assuming a subservient posture and hoping divine providence will step in for you once again. We need to become more heroic and willing to serve, not to coerce and harry others to follow our dictates.

[Kendel]

I think this has been on Wright’s mind for a while. It appears in his Gifford lectures and book from them as well. Terry, you seem ready already to discuss the theme, when we get to it in the Discerning the Dawn thread.
