Book description
The text of the New Testament, drawn from the New Testament for
Everyone series, fully integrated to smooth joins between sections and
provide a level of internal consistency, for example in how individual
Greek terms are rendered. The translation is an accurate rendering of
the Greek original, which is the product of a single mind (whose
thought has developed over time) rather than a committee. It also
represents Tom Wright's view of the New Testament, something that has
helped to shape his theology.
Tom Wright resigned last year as Bishop of Durham to take up a new
appointment as Research Professor of New Testament and Early
Christianity at the University of St Andrews. He is a regular
broadcaster on radio and television. Tom Wright is the author of over
forty books, including the For Everyone guides to the New Testament, the
best-selling Simply Christian, Surprised by Hope, and Virtue Reborn; and
the magisterial series entitled Christian Origins and the Question of
God.
