Description

In Simply Jesus, bestselling author and leading Bible scholar N.T. Wright summarizes 200 years of modern Biblical scholarship and models how Christians can best retell the story of Jesus today. In a style similar to C.S. Lewis's popular works, Wright breaks down the barriers that prevent Christians from fully engaging with the story of Jesus. For believers confronting the challenge of connecting with their Christian faith today, and for readers of Timothy Keller's The Reason for God, Wright's Simply Jesus offers a provocative new picture of the historical Jesus, exploring who he was and what his announcement of the kingdom of God means for us today.

But who was the Jesus of history, and what did he actually announce when he spoke of the kingdom of God?

• Groundbreaking Biblical Scholarship: Wright dismantles two centuries of scholarly trends to reveal the real, first-century Jewish context of Jesus's life and mission.

• The Perfect Storm: Understand the collision of Roman imperial power, Jewish national hope, and God's surprising purpose into which Jesus walked -- a framework essential to grasping his actions.

• A First-Century King: Explore what Jesus truly meant when he announced he was launching God's campaign to take charge of the world in a way no one expected.

• Accessible Theology: In a clear, engaging style reminiscent of C.S. Lewis, Wright answers the urgent questions facing believers today about who Jesus was and why he matters.
