My collegue (I always wanted to say that word), friend, youth ministry partner, and neighbor Prentice Park requested that I watch this: CLICK HERE.
This is the Colbert Report interviewing NT WRIGHT. Come on it does not get any better than this. Two of my favorite people. Colbert a brilliant satirist and NT WRIGHT a brilliant cutting edge NT scholar. Two of my passion- sarcasm and theology combined into one episode. Readers get your Bibles, popcorn, and soda get ready to watch.
Any thoughts about this interview?
Here is how the professional southern Baptist Blogger: Denny Burk feels about the interview. Frankly his thoughts just frustrate me. He obviously cannot overlook the satire.
Please check this Stephen Colbert interview with agnostic scholar, Bart Ehrman. Stephen Colbert tears Bart a new one.

Lance, that’s not fair. How is N.T. Wright, or anyone, supposed to compete with COOOOOOOOKIE! Especially when Cookie Monster ate the Peabody Award.
If you have not seen the Cookie Monster clips, they are on the Comedy Central web site or here:
