As promised, Tom Wright
As promised, here’s a link to the Colbert Report which, among other things, featured Bishop Tom Wright talking about his book Surprised by Hope.
I have to admit, I find Stephen Colbert funny about a third of the time and tiresome for the rest especially when he’s dealing with serious stuff (like Biblical theology in the case of Wright and science in the case of Francis Collins). Satire has its limits.
The clip with Cookie Monster is actually much funnier than this interview.

But still, kudos to Colbert for good taste!
Kudos indeed. It’s not always let’s face it, eschatology isn’t always comedic unless its a certain type of eschatology serialized over twenty or so books, but I digress ;-)
