Wright has been called the most prolific biblical scholar in a generation, perhaps the most important apologist for the Christian faith since C. S. Lewis. He has written the most extensive series of popular commentaries on the New Testament since William Barclay.
Wright is highly regarded in academic and theological circles for his writing, particularly his series “Christian Origins and the Question of God,” published over four volumes with two more planned. The third volume, The Resurrection of the Son of God, is considered by many pastors and theologians to be a seminal Christian work on the resurrection of the historical Jesus. The recently released fourth volume, Paul and the Faithfulness of God, is hailed as Wright's magnum opus.
NT Wright received his BA, MA, DPhil, and DD from the University of Oxford. He taught New Testament at Cambridge, McGill, and Oxford (1978-1993). Between 1994 and 2010, he was Dean of Lichfield, then Canon of Westminster, then Bishop of Durham (Church of England). In 2010, he took his current post at St. Andrews and has been there ever since. In 2014, Wright received the Burkitt Medal from the British Academy for special service to New Testament scholarship. He enjoys writing, lecturing, music, mentoring students, and an occasional round of golf. He delights in spending time with his family amid a busy schedule of writing and traveling.
Written by one of the world's foremost New Testament scholars, God and the Pandemic will serve as your guide to read the events of today through the light of Jesus' death and resurrection.
After working in the business world for 15 years, Rohrer started his involvement with politics in 1992. For the next 18 years, he served as a State Representative in Harrisburg, Pa. During his years in state government, Rohrer sought to apply biblical principles in all areas of legislation, including finance and education. In 2009, he chose to campaign as a candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, and in 2011, ran for United States Senate.
Throughout Rohrer’s travels with politics, he connected with many pastors across the state of Pennsylvania and learned about their challenges from the pulpit, which prompted him to lead the Pennsylvania Pastors Network in June 2012. Then in July 2013, the American Pastors Network formed, allowing state chapters to unite across the country for moral truth in the public square.
Rohrer has been married to his wife, Ruth Ann, for 36 years. Together they have six children and several grandchildren and are active members of their local church.
Under President Ronald Reagan, he acted as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy. He served as chairman of the High Level Group (NATO’s senior politico-military committee) and as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of defense for Nuclear Forces and Arms Control Policy under Assistant Secretary Richard Perle. He was also a Professional Staff Member on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
