Some of Wright’s Contributions N. T. Wright BISHOP OF DURHAM

On Facts In order, then, to make any statements about the past, human beings have to engage in a massive programme of selection. We do this all the time, and become quite good at it, swiftly selecting tiny fragments of our lives and arranging them into narratives, anecdotes, family legends, and so on. And such a process inevitably involves a major element of interpretation. N. T. Wright, The New Testament and the People of God, 83.2.

On Facts We are trying to make sense of the world in which we live. If we do not we are being bath-sponges, not humans. All knowing and understanding has to do with reflection on the part of human beings: all knowledge comes via somebody’s perceptions and reflections. N. T. Wright, The New Testament and the People of God, 83.2.

On Facts As we saw in chapter 2, the legacy of positivism often seduces us into imagining that a ‘fact’ is a ‘purely objective’ thing, unalloyed by the process of knowing on anybody’s part. But in reality what we call ‘facts’ always belong in a complex of response, perception, and interaction – a process which is both complex and continuing. Stories, as we have seen, are more fundamental than ‘facts’; the parts must be seen in light of the whole. N. T. Wright, The New Testament and the People of God, 83.2.

Questions for Stories (1 of 2) 1.Why is this story being told? Why was this story chosen? Were there other stories that could have been chosen but were not? 2.Why is this story being told in the way it is? Could this same story have been told in a different way, with the same or a different meaning? 3.What values, perspectives, and world- views are embedded and embodied in this story, either explicit or implicit?

Questions for Stories (2 of 2) 4.What is the actual effect (intended or otherwise) that this story, told in the way it is, has on its readers’ and/or hearers’ thoughts, feelings, values, sensibilities, actions etc. 5.What is the controlling story or meta- narrative of which this story is a part and that affects how it is heard?
