Yeah, my friends and I enjoyed the show a lot. My favorite part was when Wright got a little jab in on Colbert’s Catholicism- “you chaps also get your information from other big books” (paraphrased).

I watched him on the Colbert report. Thanks for the heads up. He did pretty good.

Bryan, I have a portion of that quote on my blog from that book. It's a great read. The good bishop is an expert on the resurrection.

Hey James,

I think he means that the stories themselves are pre-Pauline- i.e., the life, death, and resurrection of Christ was not some later theological development, but what historically happened.

I don’t have access to the book, so perhaps you could inform me. It appears from the quote you have given that Wright is suggesting that the gospels were written before the Pauline corpus. Is this what Wright is suggesting?
