Simply and Well Put
Bishop N. T. Wright's "Simply Christian" is an elegant and readable explanation of the basic tenets of the Christian faith. In the spirit of C.S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity," this book attempts to and succeeds in describing the role of God and...

A Classic
N.T. Wright has the ability to write with such simplicity, and yet never loose the depths of intelligent explanation. He can write at a popular, easily understandable level, and then turn around and write a tome of in-depth theological analysis....

Good primer for Christian faith
As a university instructor in Bible, I found Dr. Wright's book to be a good start for someone not fully understanding Christianity, the development of the redemption story, who Jesus is, the formation of the Bible, and other doctrines of...

If you are on a faith journey, you want to begin here. Wright's book builds the argument for Christianity step by step, idea by idea. In the meantime, his writing is beautiful, poetic. Wright uses verbal pictures to illustrate his points....

In a nutshell...
One of very few books that makes me pause and contemplate all that has been said in a few concise words. It is perhaps cumbersome at the start, but isn't anything thoughtful a bit of work?? N. T. Wright has something to tell us and wants first...

An explanation for a post modern culture
An extension of Wright's book could be "why Christianity makes sense to post modern people". This is a fine book, for what it tries to do, which is to clearly explain what Christianity is about. It is not necessarily designed to persuade anyone,...
