More on Christianity Today, Trinitarian Theology and N. T. Wright

December 18th, 2006

I am somewhat stunned that more has not been discussed about Wright’s statement concerning Jesus ignorance of his own Deity.  To find it in a letter to an editor in Christianity Today is disturbing at best and a much broader statement about where we are in theology in the church today.

    I think Wright’s position is more nuanced than you note. Read his New Testament and the People of God and Jesus and the Victory of God. If Jesus were fully aware of his Dinity … why did he say … (Mark 15:34 )

    And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

    In Chapter five of Wright’s book “The Challenge of Jesus” he explains more clearly his ideas about Jesus’ knowledge of his divinity…particularly in his section entitled “the vocation and self understanding of Jesus,” wherein Wright fairly obviously attests to Jesus’ knowledge of his divinity saying things like “Jesus was taking the huge risk of acting as if he were the Shekinah in person, the presence of YHWH tabernacling with his people.” (p114)
