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.
