Twenty years on from its original appearance, this ground-breaking first
volume in N. T. Wright's magisterial series, 'Christian Origins and the
Question of God', still stands as a major point of reference for
students of the New Testament and early Christianity. This latest
impression has been completely reset to make Wright's elegant and
engrossing text more readable. 'The sweep of Wright's project as a whole
is breathtaking. It is impossible to give a fair assessment of his
achievement without sounding grandiose: no New Testament scholar since
Bultmann has even attempted - let alone achieved - such an innovative
and comprehensive account of New Testament history and theology.'
