Reflecting the Glory

N.T. Wright writes well in a technical/scholarly style and in a devotional style. This book is a collection of devotional/meditational reflections concerning Christ's glory. Interestingly, it starts with reflections on suffering. Suffering is formative in Christ's glorification. It, thus, is formative for ours. Wow, is that something I need to be reminded of!Wright, whom I believe is more of a Pauline scholar than a gospels scholar, has injected new life into modern views of Jesus and Paul. Yet his works are firmly grounded in orthodox church doctrine. All of his writing is steeped in meditation and prayer, not merely research. He strives to apply the story of Scripture (the gospel) to our place and time in history. As such, his works, both scholarly and devotional, are accessible, relevant, enjoyable, and powerful. I highly recommend his writing.I'm using this book as a series of Lenten reflections. But it is appropriate for devotional reading anytime during the year. Highly recommended.
