EERDMANS PUBLISHING CO., 2009 Simple and profound I've read several of Wright's books. This is the most accessible. It's less academic than some of his other works and is eminently practical. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is drawn to Jesus and wants to be his follower. The novice Christian will understand it easily. The veteran will find much to ponder.             Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church72 reviews N. T. Wright HarperOne, 2008 Happy wife This was one the wife's Christmas list. It's now on her bookshelf. She's happy and I'm at peace. What more need I say?             The Resurrection of the Son of God (Christian Origins and the Question of God, Vol. 3)46 reviews N. T. Wright Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2003 Wright says it right! In some circles it is fashionable to knock N.T. Wright. I know that I have some significant concerns about his views on justification. But as this book will show you, if he is indeed wrong about the cross, he sure is "wright" about the resurrection! I found his "big green book" incredibly helpful as I wrote my own, Raised with Christ: How the Resurrection Changes Everything. I would commend ...             Paul for Everyone: Galatians and Thessalonians8 reviews Tom (N. T.) Wright Westminster John Knox Press, 2004 Top biblical scholarhip for the lay audience Revd. Wright is one of the best of the advocates of the New Perspective on St. Paul and his insights on these letters area happy corretive to several centuries of erroneous interpretation. This book is accessible to the educated layman and pastorally helpful. Highly recommended.             Justification: God's Plan & Paul's Vision46 reviews N. T. Wright IVP Academic, 2009 Wright Does It Again - Great Book I have spent the last several months reading through N.T. Wright's fairly intimidating series of books on 'Christian Origins and The Question of God' looking at the 'Historical Jesus' as well as the beginnings of the Christian faith from the scholastic and historical viewpoints. At the same time I have spent a fair amount of time reading various essays from both sides of the so-called New ...             After You Believe: Why Christian Character Matters25 reviews N. T. Wright HarperOne, 2010 Excellent defense of Christian Virtue Ethics -I just wanted to add another five-star vote for this insightful work from a credible Christian scholar and practitioner. -The author argues Virtue Ethics is a foundation for our main missions on earth, which include reflecting the Image and Likeness of God, and preparing to be a Royal Priesthood. He concludes Jesus' Character (rather than rigid rules or a shallow emotive/intuitive response) ...             The Meaning of Jesus: Two Visions (Plus)45 reviews Marcus J. Borg, N. T. Wright HarperOne, 2007 A good overview of two radically different perspectives In this book, two theologians (Wright and Borg) dialogue about the identity, role, and work of Jesus. In alternating chapters they consider such questions as how do we know about Jesus, what did Jesus believe about himself, is Jesus God, what happened at Easter, etc. The perspectives are in sharp contrast and this is apparent from the start. One perspective (Borg) is based on hypothetical ...             Paul for Everyone: The Pastoral Letters : 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus4 reviews Tom (N. T.) Wright Westminster John Knox Press, 2004 Good work Tom Wright has written a series of New Testament commentaries that are easy and enjoyable to read. He combines excellent scholarship and insight with reader friendly simplicity. I highly recommend the Everyone series to everyone. In each book a very readable translation of the New Testament book being discussed, is provided by Tom Wright. He follows this by a story or anectedote and then ...             Simply Christian: Why Christianity Makes Sense91 reviews N. T. Wright HarperOne, 2010 Simply Christian Is a Must-Read! The other day, I caught the middle of a documentary on the Sundance Channel about a small community who had chosen to live out on a mesa in New Mexico. These people were completely off the grid: no electricity, except by generator or solar panels; no water, except what they could catch as it fell from the sky; no food, except what they could grow or might be given from a community member with a ...             Paul: In Fresh Perspective27 reviews N. T. Wright Fortress Press, 2009 A post-Reformation masterpiece Before I comment directly on N. T. Wright's book Paul: In Fresh Perspective, let me give an abbreviated theological travelogue. I grew up in South America; my parents were conservative evangelical missionaries. From birth through high school I was thoroughly indoctrinated in a dispensational, premillenial, Pietistic view of the Bible and the Christian life. In Bible school I took my first course ...             What Saint Paul Really Said: Was Paul of Tarsus the Real Founder of Christianity?44 reviews N. T. Wright Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1997 Great Explanation and Defense of New Perspective This book is a well written explanation and defense of the New Perspective on Paul. Wright breaks down Paul's theology in a way that makes sense of his background as a first century Jewish Pharisee. He indeed shows that Paul's theology is not a new faith as a mixture of Judaism with Hellinism, but rather it is Jewish to the core reshaped and redefined around Jesus of Nazareth, who showed ...             Jesus and the Victory of God (Christian Origins and the Question of God, Volume 2)37 reviews N. T. Wright Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 1997 A Jesus Worth Believing N.T. "Tom" Wright is the most prolific and influential New Testament scholar of our day. I'm convinced that his solid and extensive exegetical work - which yields rich theological fruit - will continue to influence Christian leaders of my generation for decades to come. Jesus and the Victory of God (JVG) is volume 2 in Wright's multi-volume project entitled "Christian origins and the question ...             The Last Word: Scripture and the Authority of God--Getting Beyond the Bible Wars6 reviews N.T. Wright HarperOne, 2006 A way out - a priest's review Both in scholarship and general life styles, liberals and conservatives are locked in hopeless battle. "You don't care about people!" vs "You ignore God's word!" is common rhetoric throughout the declining churches of North Amercia. Bishop Wright offers a new way of stepping beyond these unity destroying, fruitless debates about the Bible, a way of hope and new life. Bishop Wright takes a ...             The New Testament and the People of God (Christian Origins and the Question of God)32 reviews N. T. Wright Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 1992 Invest the time, Worth the return!!!! This is by far the most thorough book I have read on the subject. I will admit the beginning is a bit dry with such a long discourse on epistemology ( still read it though, it'll make the book flow better), but worth every bit of the time and energy investment to read. I hope that the next generation(s) of Christians will marinade themselves in the bible, as well as understanding the context(s). ...             Evil & the Justice of God30 reviews N. T. Wright Intervarsity Press, 2009 Good book, good value Reasonably priced hardcover with a lot of well-written content. Wright doesn't give trite answers to the problem of evil, but he gives a great overview of what the Bible has to say about it and how we should perhaps change our view.             Jesus, the Final Days: What Really Happened8 reviews Craig A. Evans, N. T. Wright Westminster John Knox, 2009 Best Ever 100 Page Book The other reviews summarize well this little gem of a book. Let me just add that it is simply the best 100 page book I have ever read. I have had it for over a month and decided to read it the weekend of passion Week. It was not only spiritually appropriate, it was intellectually satisfying. It embodies the compressed work of two of our best scholars and apologists for the Christian faith. These ...             The Challenge of Jesus: Rediscovering Who Jesus Was and Is43 reviews N. T. Wright InterVarsity Press, 1999 Invigorating, but uncomfortable at the same time. While many seek out Christian books to simply reinforce their own established ideas, I love to find an author who reveres Scripture, but does not shy away from sharing what is often uncomfortable. The first portion of the book establishes the case for Christians to pursue the historical exploration of Jesus. I think this illustrates that the book was written in the late 20th century ...             For All God's Worth: True Worship and the Calling of the Church7 reviews N. T. Wright Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1997 In My Top 10 This book will find itself in my top recommendations (at least for a while). N.T. Wright's works are putting him in my favorite authors list. In this piece Wright tackles the subject of the Church and its mission. Because the Church is one of my passions, I read a lot about it. In this book, I was given a taste and glimpse so inspiring that I fell in love with what the Church could be all ...             The Resurrection of Jesus: John Dominic Crossan And N.T.
