On Losing His Father and the Divine Sorrow of Death: A Short Video by N.T. Wright

It’s easy for us to think like God.  By reading the Bible, reading our Church fathers, we can come to a general form of orthodoxy.

It’s a challenge for us to act like Jesus, but many of us, through the power of God, are able to be like Jesus.  We can read the Gospels and come to a general trajectory towards orthopraxy.

But, few of us hardly ever touch on the theological idea of orthopathos

That is, few of us ever feel the right feelings of God … except maybe at funerals.

N.T. Wright shares his experience with orthopathos, as he grieved the loss of his father.
