Simply Christian
In 1943, in a series of informal but poignant radio addresses, Oxford professor and author C.S. Lewis used his homespun rearticulation of Christianity to encourage British soldiers on the front and a war-beleaguered citizenry. Now, in our own violent days, leading Christian scholar and Anglican bishop N.T. Wright again shows us how to build Christian faith from the ground up. In Simply Christian, Wright suggests that our most basic human questions take us into the mystery of who God is and where our intuitive longings for justice and beauty meet God’s endlessly offered blessings. Using common language, he probes the visceral core of Christianity, laying bare its vital interconnections with Creation. Known for his clear exposition of traditional Christianity and his eagerness to be in conversation with differing views, Bishop Wright will explore the essence of the Christian faith. Whether you have no predisposition to believe, are negative toward religion, or have deep faith, you will find Bishop Wright’s embracing vision of Christianity a source of hope in troubled times. N.T. WRIGHT is Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Durham, England. He is author of such titles as Paul: In Fresh Perspective, Scripture and the Authority of God, and Who Was Jesus?
