Simply Christian

“Wright offers us a genial, intelligent view of Christianity, and [Simply Christian] invites us to compare his work with C.S. Lewis’s classic in the same vein, Mere Christianity.” —Washington Post 
Though originally published in 2006, N.T. Wright’s Simply Christian has already reached the status of a classic of biblical scholarship. Wright, Bishop of Durham for the Church of England, has been called “the world’s leading New Testament scholar” by Newsweek, and Simply Christian an “outstanding” treatise on Christianity that “will confirm, challenge, and deepen your grasp of Christian faith and practice” by Christianity Today.

The Last Word: Scripture and the Authority of God--Getting Beyond the Bible Wars

HarperOne

Was Jesus born of a virgin? Did he know he was the Messiah? Was he bodily resurrected from the dead? Did he intentionally die to redeem humankind? Was Jesus God? Two leading Jesus scholars with widely divergent views go right to the heart of these questions and others, presenting the opposing visions of Jesus that shape our faith today.

Marcus J. Borg

In Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church, top-selling author and Anglican bishop, N.T. Wright tackles the biblical question of what happens after we die and shows how most Christians get it wrong. We do not “go to” heaven; we are resurrected and heaven comes down to earth--a difference that makes all of the difference to how we live on earth. Following N.T. Wright’s resonant exploration of a life of faith in Simply Christian, the award-winning author whom Newsweek calls “the world’s leading New Testament scholar” takes on one of life’s most controversial topics, a matter of life, death, spirituality, and survival for everyone living in the world today.

What is Narrative Criticism - A New Approach to the Bible

Mark Allan Powell

SPCK Publishing

Put Jesus, the risen Jesus, in the middle of your life, your thinking, your living, your work, your pains, your griefs, your anxieties, your hopes, and your fears - put this Jesus in the middle, and work them all around him. Learn to worship him; learn to love him; and learn to live with a new life in his new world' So ends this exhilarating sequence of meditations on the biblical Jesus, and what it means to follow him today. In Part One, 'Looking to Jesus' NT Wright outlines the essential message of six major New Testament books, looking in particular at their portrayal of Jesus - 'the pioneer and perfecter of our faith'- and what he accomplished in his sacrificial death. In Part Two, 'A Living Sacrifice' he takes six key New Testament themes - resurrection, re-birth, temptation, hell, heaven, and new life - and explores their significance for the lives of present-day disciples.

Following Jesus

Part of a five-volume project on the theological questions surrounding the origins of Christianity, this book offers a reappraisal of literary, historical and theological readings of the New Testament, arguing for a form of "critical realism" that facilitates different readings of the text.
