Book Overview

Featuring a brand-new cover design, this edition of N. T. Wright's popular Following Jesus -- first published in 1995 -- includes a new preface in which Wright reflects on the book's origin and significance for him personally and on its continued relevance to believers even though our global context has changed. Wright first outlines the essential messages of six major New Testament books -- Hebrews, Colossians, Matthew, John, Mark, and Revelation -- looking in particular at their portrayal of Jesus and what he accomplished in his sacrificial death. In the second part of the book Wright takes six key New Testament themes -- resurrection, rebirth, temptation, hell, heaven, and new life in a new world -- and considers their significance for the lives of present-day disciples.

Cliff notes for Wright's lengthy works

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 15, 2003

Wright shows that he can operate (dominate) in the scholarly debates and effectively preach and inspire from the pulpit. This book takes the major points of his more exhaustive works (New Testament And The People Of God, Jesus And The Victory Of God)and draws out the spiritual consequences of his theological conclusions. Your mind will be challenged by NTPG & JVG, your commitment will be challenged by this book.Wright...

Excellent Sermons by an excellent Scholar

By Thriftbooks.com User, February 16, 2001

This book shows, what informed theology can achieve for the normal church goer. N.T. Wright uses all his insights as prominent NT scholar, that he is, to share with his readers, what the NT message could be for our time. Following Jesus is the overall theme of his sermons, nonetheless it's not a book about "what would Jesus do" or this kind of stuff. On the contrary it seriously engages with the messages of certain NT books...

Excellent and Inspiring Reflections

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 25, 2000

Tom Wright shows how biblical scholarship should be done. Not only does he produce heavy weight works (such as "Jesus and the Victory of God" or "The Climax of the Covenant") but also he is at pains to show how the Bible can and should inform our lives today.It was a bold move to start the book with a chapter on Hebrews, arguably the hardest book in the New Testament (its chief rival for that title would be Revelation,...
