About this title

Review:

"Pithy prose and compassionate and serious biblical interpretation. . . . To reveal some of Wright's conclusions would be like leaking cinematic spoilers; such is the inventive and surprising way that Wright brings the Bible to bear on current, and vexatious, affairs."--Publishers Weekly

"Reading anew for new times and exploring how the Bible might illuminate issues of contemporary concern is at the heart of N.T. Wright's Surprised by Scripture."--Publishers Weekly

"N.T. Wright is the most prolific biblical scholar in a generation. Some say he is the most important apologist since C. S. Lewis. . . . Perhaps the most significant praise of all: When Wright speaks, preaches, or writes, folks say they see Jesus, and lives are transformed."--Christianity Today
