Nicholas Thomas Wright Books

The first translation of the entire (Protestant) Bible, by two world-renowned biblical experts, for over a generation.

"While full of theological import, Paul's letter to the Galatians also captures and memorializes a significant moment in the early history of Christianity. This commentary from N. T. Wright--the inaugural volume of the CCF series--offers a theological interpretation of Galatians that never loses sight of the political concerns of its historical context. With these two elements of the letter in dialogue with each other, readers can understand both what Paul originally meant and how his writing might be faithfully used to respond to present questions. Each section of verse-by-verse commentary in this volume is followed by Wright's reflections on what the text says about Christian formation today, making this an excellent resource for individual readers and those preparing to teach or preach on Galatians. The focus on formation is especially appropriate for this biblical letter, in which Paul wrote to his fellow early Christians, 'My children--I seem to be in labor with you all over again, until the Messiah is fully formed in you!'" -- Publisher, page four of cover

Illness and suffering in the ancient world were regularly regarded as signs of divine displeasure. In 2 Corinthians, we see evidence of Paul's own suffering. The difficulties and pain he endured could be interpreted as God's punishment. Not so, says Paul.

A historical biography, which will appeal to believer and non-believer alike, of the life and thought of St Paul.

'Tense and emotional…A dark beating heart of a novel' GILLIAN McALLISTER

Here it is...your irreverent introduction to the world of cutting-edge mathematics! In Trolling Euclid, author Tom Wright humorously guides you through nine of the most important unsolved problems in modern mathematics, explaining the nuances of these key problems in language that anyone from math novice to math professor can understand. Filled with wit, wisdom, irrelevant anecdotes, and flagrant historical inaccuracies, and narrated by a voice that is in turns snarky, dorky, hip, and downright quirky, Trolling Euclid introduces the reader to the math world in a way that is deep yet entirely comprehensible.

In this groundbreaking book—available in paperback for the first time—renowned Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and bestselling author N. T. Wright argues that Christians have not distorted the Bible’s message about heaven and what happens after we die. For years, Christians have been asking, "If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?" It turns out that many believers have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright asserts that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection, and provides a magisterial defense for a literal resurrection of Jesus. Wright then explores our expectation of "new heavens and a new earth," revealing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the "second coming" of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, it will come as a great surprise to learn that heaven comes to earth instead of us going to heaven. Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation—and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection—the church cannot stop at "saving souls" but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.

James Jackson falls in love with the determined and energetic Trudy Baker in kindergarten. Her sheer determination to be the first girl to swing over the top bar sets a fire in his heart that never dies. When he makes a declaration of love at the tender age of five, he lets his best friend Denny take the credit, setting a course of action that will forever seal their fate. James did everything right. He took Trudy in after her divorce, welcomed her child as his own, rejoiced when they had a son. He gave up his career, resettled in their small home town, and lived every day to make Trudy happy. But when she left him for Denny, James could never recover. When Trudy winds up brutally murdered, the entire town points to James. He has, after all, fallen from grace. Living on the streets, slave to the bottle, forever under the shadow of Denny, now the town sheriff. The judge and jury declared James must die for his crime, and James agreed. He couldn’t imagine living a single day without Trudy, even if she was no longer his. On that fated day, he spends those seven minutes reliving every moment that led him to the cold metal gurney.

Gritty, tender and moving, A Traitor to His Blood follows the adventures of reluctant Bajan private eye JT Ellington as he returns to 1980s Bristol.

The renowned scholar, Anglican bishop, and bestselling author widely considered to be the heir to C. S. Lewis contemplates the central event at the heart of the Christian faith—Jesus’ crucifixion—arguing that the Protestant Reformation did not go far enough in transforming our understanding of its meaning. In The Day the Revolution Began, N. T. Wright once again challenges commonly held Christian beliefs as he did in his acclaimed Surprised by Hope. Demonstrating the rigorous intellect and breathtaking knowledge that have long defined his work, Wright argues that Jesus’ death on the cross was not only to absolve us of our sins; it was actually the beginning of a revolution commissioning the Christian faithful to a new vocation—a royal priesthood responsible for restoring and reconciling all of God’s creation. Wright argues that Jesus’ crucifixion must be understood within the much larger story of God’s purposes to bring heaven and earth together. The Day the Revolution Began offers a grand picture of Jesus’ sacrifice and its full significance for the Christian faith, inspiring believers with a renewed sense of mission, purpose, and hope, and reminding them of the crucial role the Christian faith must play in protecting and shaping the future of the world.

Foundational: The four gospels come directly from the ancient church and are among the primary sources for the church's teachings. Familiar: Since Christian worship services began, a reading from the gospels has played a central role. Studied: For over two hundred years scholars have challenged and defended the central claims of the gospels: miracles, historical accuracy, the divinity of Jesus, and more. But Forgotten: Still, leading Bible scholar N. T. Wright reveals shocking news: We have all forgotten what the four gospels are about. "Despite centuries of intense and heavy industry expended on the study of all sorts of features of the gospels," Wright writes, "we have often managed to miss the main thing that they, all four of them, are most eager to tell us. What we need is not just a bit of fine-tuning, an adjustment here and there. We need a fundamental rethink about what the gospels are trying to tell us." What Wright offers is an opportunity to confront these powerful texts afresh, as if we are encountering them for the first time. How God Became King reveals the surprising, unexpected, and shocking news of the gospels: this is the story of a new king, a new kind of king, a king who has changed everything, and a king who invites us to be part of his new world.

From the author of the acclaimed Simply Christian and Surprised by Hope comes a book that addresses the question that has plagued humans for centuries—what is our purpose? As Christians, what are we to do with that ambiguous time between baptism and the funeral? It's easy to become preoccupied with who gets into heaven; the real challenge is how we are going to live in the here and now. Wright dispels the common misconception that Christian living is nothing more than a checklist of dos and don'ts. Nor is it a prescription to "follow your heart" wherever it may lead. Instead, After You Believe reveals the Bible's call for a revolution—a transformation of character that takes us beyond our earthly pursuit of money, sex, and power into a virtuous state of living that allows us to reflect God and live more worshipful, fulfilling lives. We are all spiritual seekers, intuitively knowing there is more to life than we suspect. This is a book for anyone who is hoping there is something more while we're here on Earth. There is. We are being called to join the revolution, and Wright insightfully encourages readers to find new purpose and clarity by taking us on an eye-opening journey through key biblical passages that promise to radically alter the work of the church and the direction of our lives.

How a better understanding the New Testament in its original pagan context can help you live and communicate the Christian gospel more effectively amidst the plethora of spiritual pathways on offer today.

Wise words on the coronavirus pandemic - and what we make of it when it's all over - by one of the world's most widely respected Christian writers

Tom Wright's long-awaited full-length study of St Paul will not in any way disappoint the high expectations that surround it. From the very first sentence, it holds the attention, arguing a strong, persuasive, coherent and fresh case, supported by immense scholarship and comprehensive theological intelligence. It is a worthy successor to his earlier magisterial studies of the themes of the Kingdom and the Resurrection: lively, passionate and deeply constructive, laying out very plainly the ways in which the faith of the New Testament is focused on God's purpose to re-create, through the.

In this thoughtful follow-up to Simply Christian, today's leading Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and acclaimed author uses the Gospel of John to reveal how Christianity presents a compelling and relevant explanation for our world. N. T. Wright argues that every world view must explain seven "signposts," indicators inherent to humanity: Justice, Spirituality, Relationships, Beauty, Freedom, Truth, and Power. If we do not live up to these ideals, our societies and individual lives become unbalanced, creating anger and frustration--negative emotions that divide us from ourselves and from God, he contends. Using the Gospel of John as his source, Wright shows how Christianity defines each signpost and illuminates why we so often see them as being "broken" and unattainable. Drawing on the wisdom of the Gospels, Wright explains why these signposts are fractured and damaged and how Christianity provides the vision, guidance, and hope for making them whole once again, ultimately healing ourselves and our world.

What guidance does the bible offer for how Christians should respond to the current wave of political turmoil that is sweeping over the world?

Making use of his true scholar's understanding, yet writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Tom Wright captures the verve and sparkle of these letters. Paul wrote the letters while in prison facing possible death, but their passion and energy are undimmed. They reveal Paul's longing to see young churches grow in faith and understanding, rooted in Jesus himself, and to see this faith worked out in practice - in one case, through the rehabilitation of a runaway slave. Wright's stimulating comments are combined with his own translation of the Bible text.

Named a Best Book of 2018 by the Financial Times and Fortune, this New York Times bestseller reveals how a "modern Gatsby" swindled over $5 billion in "the heist of the century." It tells the story of a young social climber from Malaysia who executed one of the largest heists in history. In 2009, Jho Low, a mild-mannered Wharton School graduate, orchestrated a fraud of unprecedented scale that posed a significant threat to the global financial system. Over a decade, with the assistance of Goldman Sachs and others, he siphoned billions from an investment fund, operating under the radar of financial watchdogs. Low used the stolen money to finance elections, acquire luxury real estate, host extravagant parties, and even fund Hollywood films like The Wolf of Wall Street. By early 2019, with his yacht and private jet seized by authorities and facing criminal charges in Malaysia and the U.S., Low became an international fugitive amid ongoing investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice. This narrative has become a classic tale of hubris and greed in the financial world, joining the ranks of other notable works on white-collar crime.

"Writing from the perspective of his much admired scholarship, yet with a fluency and accessibility that few can match, Tom Wright argues that to understand 'justification' from Paul's point of view, it is necessary to see it in terms of four elements: the cosmic law court; the forward-moving purpose of God ('eschatology') ; the fact of God's achievement in Jesus Christ and our participation in him; and ultimately the single divine plan, through Israel, for the whole world ('covenant'). Above all, we will only see what 'justification' is about when we recognize that we are part of a larger purpose. God is rescuing us from the shipwreck of the world, not so that we can sit back and put our feet up in his company, but so that we can be part of his plan to rescue and remake the whole of creation." --Book Jacket.

Wright's eye-opening comments on these letters are combined, passage by passage, with his new translation of the Bible text. He is the author of The Challenge of Jesus and Twelve Months of Sundays.

Über die Person des Apostels Paulus gehen die Meinungen heute genauso weit auseinander wie im 1. Jh.: Für die einen ist er ein gefährlicher religiöser Scharlatan, für die anderen der größte Lehrer der Christenheit. Doch worum ging es ihm wirklich? Was war sein "Evangelium"? Was dachte er über Jesus? Wieso war seine Lehre für das antike Heidentum so eine Herausforderung und was war seine Botschaft für die Juden? Was meinte er mit "Rechtfertigung"?

N. T. Wright erläutert die Lehren von Jesus, Paulus und den frühen Christen über das Gebet und interpretiert die im Neuen Testament enthaltenen Gebete für die heutige Zeit. Ein wertvolles Buch für alle, die das Beten erlernen möchten!

Matthäus erklärt von N.T. Wright. Intelligent, aber nicht hochgestochen. Leicht verständlich, aber nicht zu simpel. Die einzelnen Bibelabschnitte werden lebendig vor dem Hintergrund dessen, was wir heute über Jesus und seine Zeit wissen. Und sie werden lebendig für das Leben mit Jesus heute.

N.T. Wright erzählt die biblischen Texte neu. Er öffnet dem Leser nicht nur die Augen für viele bisher unentdeckte Hintergründe und Zusammenhänge, sondern vor allem dafür, wie er heute Jesus nachfolgen kann.§- Mit eigener, oftmals überraschender Bibelübersetzung.§- Jeder Abschnitt stellt zuerst mit einer Anekdote oder einem aktuellen Bezug die Verbindung zu uns heute her und erklärt vor diesem Hintergrund den Bibeltext.§- Die leicht zugängliche, einfache Auslegung lässt den Text vor dem Hintergrund der Welt der Bibel lebendig werden - auf der Grundlage von Wrights jahrelangen Forschungen über Jesus und das frühe Christentum.§- Als eigenständiger Denker zeigt Wright ganz praktisch, was die biblischen Texte für unser Leben heute bedeuten.

Seit den Anfängen des Christentums spielt die Lektüre der Evangelien eine zentrale Rolle. Über allem Forschen und Studieren haben wir jedoch die wesentliche Botschaft vergessen. N.T. Wright schreibt: „Während meiner Studien über Jesus und die Evangelien habe ich den Eindruck gewonnen, dass der Großteil der westlichen christlichen Tradition schlicht vergessen hat, worum es in den Evangelien eigentlich geht. Trotz mehrerer Jahrhunderte intensiver und schwerer Arbeit an allen möglichen Merkmalen der Evangelien haben wir oft die Hauptsache übersehen, die uns alle vier Evangelien so ungeduldig erzählen wollen. Ich bin daher zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass wir nicht nur hier und da ein bisschen an der Feinabstimmung arbeiten müssen. Wir müssen grundsätzlich neu durchdenken, was die Evangelien zu sagen versuchen.“ In seinem Buch bietet Wright uns die Gelegenheit, den kraftvollen Texten ganz neu und frisch zu begegnen. Hier wird dem Leser die überraschende, unerwartete und geradezu schockierende Botschaft der Evangelien geboten: Es ist die Geschichte eines neuen Königs, der alles verändert und der uns in seine neue Welt einlädt.

Van de achterflap: Sommigen zien in het coronavirus een bewijs dat we leven in de eindtijd. Anderen zien het virus als een manier van God om ons wakker te schudden. Weer anderen vinden dat het de schuld is van de Chinezen, de regering, de WHO. Tom Wright onderzoekt deze reacties op het virus en vindt dat ze tekortschieten. In plaats daarvan nodigt hij je uit om na te denken over een andere manier van kijken en reageren – een manier die put uit de leringen en voorbeelden van de Schrift, en vooral over de manier van leven, denken en bidden die Jezus ons heeft geopenbaard.

Der Römerbrief ist das Meisterwerk des Apostel Paulus. Hiereht es von Anfang bis Ende um den Gott, der seine Kraft und Gnade durch die gute Nachricht von Jesus enthüllt. Erklärt von N.T. Wright.

Eine geniale geistliche Konversation über diese Texte des Neuen Testaments, die unser Leben prägen wollen. (Eugene Peterson)
