In recent days, N. T. Wright made some remarks on the morality of abortion and the necessity of believing in the bodily resurrection of Jesus. Regarding abortion, he essentially articulated the view that early abortions are morally acceptable, particularly in the cases of rape, incest, and physical deformity. 

Regarding the resurrection, while Write believes that Jesus was raised bodily from the dead and this should be a normative belief for Christians, he does not think a denial of this doctrine necessarily makes one a heretic who is bereft of salvation. I think he is wrong on both counts, and explain why.

I end the episode with a Pet the Peeve segment about driving.
