Scribes Instructed unto The Kingdom: A Response to N. T. Wright’s History And Eschatology

Ephraim Radner critiques N. T. Wright’s History and Eschatology, exploring the tension between continuous historical study and the "newness" of Christian revelation. Radner argues that a rigorously historical natural theology must confront the moral challenge of theodicy, exemplified by the Lisbon earthquake. He proposes an "alienated history" where Scripture's internal logic reorders temporal experience, relativizing chronological sequence through the lens of the cross and Resurrection.

Abstract

Ephraim Radner critiques N. T. Wright’s History and Eschatology, exploring the tension between continuous historical study and the "newness" of Christian revelation. Radner argues that a rigorously historical natural theology must confront the moral challenge of theodicy, exemplified by the Lisbon earthquake. He proposes an "alienated history" where Scripture's internal logic reorders temporal experience, relativizing chronological sequence through the lens of the cross and Resurrection.
