Was Christianity bad for the world? How should we talk honestly about the Crusades, colonialism, slavery, sectarian wars—and the church’s failures—without pretending the record is clean? In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird respond to three big questions: Is Christianity bad? Tom argues we must acknowledge the church’s worst moments without defensiveness, while also recognizing how Christian moral vision reshaped the conscience of the wider world. 

Also on today's episode listener's ask whether the “coming of the Son of Man” in Matthew 24 is about Jesus returning, or Jesus being enthroned?  and why Isn’t "all Israel" saved?
