Tom Wright Sings Genesis

Posted byChaplainmikePosted inIM Recommended Viewing

Several people have called my attention to this great video of N.T. Wright singing a song about Genesis to the tune of the Beatles’ “Yesterday.”

Nice job, Tom. But I gotta get me one of those “double helix” guitars!

    AWESOME SONG! Really makes you step back and think…..

    Thanks for sharing this.

  7. Here’s the third one, a song by Sydney Carter about the crucifixion. Good theology and heavy on the irony.

  13. I was there at Hearts & Minds in Dallastown, PA last Saturday when he sang this. He also sang the Dylan song that has been making the rounds on the Internet. It was a great day meeting him, hearing him lecture for 30 minutes (no notes, quoted scripture from memory, connections with ideas & culture on the spot, stories/illustrations on the spot), & hearing him sing. What a great day.

  15. He did a very competent job with Bob Dylan’s “The Hour that the Ship Comes In.” You can find that by a link in the latest Saturday Ramblings here on iMonk. There was another song too, but I couldn’t get that.

  16. Wait. He adjusted his capo at the end of the song, which implies to me that he planned to sing another song…is there more?! Was he putting on a full show?

  21. I thought you meant he sings Genesis… I was expecting a cover of Lamb Lies Down on Broadway!
