N. T. Wright (Nicholas Thomas Wright, born December 1, 1948) is a renowned British New Testament scholar, theologian, and author. He is best known for his work on the historical Jesus, the Apostle Paul, and Christian origins. Wright served as the Bishop of Durham (2003–2010) in the Church of England and later became Research Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.

He has written extensively—both academic works under "N. T. Wright" and more accessible books for general audiences under "Tom Wright." His influential multi-volume series Christian Origins and the Question of God and books like Surprised by Hope and Simply Christian have shaped contemporary Christian theology and biblical scholarship.

Wright is particularly known for advocating the “New Perspective on Paul”, emphasizing the Jewish context of early Christianity and rethinking traditional Protestant interpretations of justification and salvation.
