Publisher Description
The bishop, Bible scholar, modern heir to C. S. Lewis, and revered author of Simply Christian and Simply Jesus offers a fresh look at the Gospel, explaining why Jesus’ message is “good news” and why it is more timely and transforming today than we know.
The Gospel means good news. But if the message has been around for 2,000 years, what makes it significant today? What’s so “good” about stories involving damnation, violence, and a God who sacrifices his only son?
Noted Bible scholar N.T. Wright shows us how Christians today have lost sight of what the “good news” of the gospel really is. In Simply Good News, he takes us back in time to reveal how the people of the first-century—the gospel’s original audience—would have received Jesus’ message. He offer a clear and thoughtful analysis of what the “good news” really is, and applies it to our lives today, revealing its power to transform us.
Customer Reviews
Simply Good News
I like the format in which Mr. Wright takes his readers. He poses questions in the book that may well be in the mind of those reading and contemplating both the knowledge and wisdom he provides. It is interesting to look back historically as to how certain people have shaped some of the "foundational precepts" that the church has adopted that affect how we envision and live out our Faith. After reading this book one can better understand and embrace just what the "Good News" is and how it truly has transformed our World.
