The Crown and the Fire

release date: Mar 20, 2009
The Crown and the Fire
Instead of the seven words that Jesus spoke from the cross, Tom Wright invites you to consider seven words that people spoke to the cross -- people like Mary and the Roman centurion who witnessed the crucifixion, and Pontius Pilate, who helped to instigate it. The result is a powerful sequence of meditations that will move you to reassess your own response to Jesus'' death, his resurrection, and the continuing influence of his Spirit on those who follow him today.

God's Homecoming

release date: Feb 17, 2026
God's Homecoming
In Surprised by Hope, Tom Wright transformed how millions understood life after death - showing that authentic Christian hope isn''t about "going to heaven," but about "heaven coming to earth" in the new creation. Now, in God''s Homecoming, world renowned theologian Tom Wright takes this vision a step further. Through a powerful exploration of Paul''s letters and the Hebrew prophets, he reveals that biblical hope is not limited to individual salvation, but the renewal and reconciliation of all creation. At the heart of this hope is the promise that the Creator God will return to dwell among his people, filling the whole world with his glorious, healing presence. Wright''s in depth reading of Scripture reframes our understanding of grace, showing that Christianity is not about escaping the world but about God''s initiative to restore it. When we stop asking, "How can I get to heaven?" and instead grasp God''s desire to come and dwell with us, in us, and through us, we rediscover the true depth of the gospel: a story suffused with love, renewal, and divine purpose. A profound follow-up to Surprised by Hope, God''s Homecoming is essential reading for anyone interested in Christian theology, biblical studies, the afterlife, and the hope of resurrection, as well as fans of Tom Wright (NT Wright).

Jesus and the Powers

Jesus and the Powers

Blackbird

release date: Jul 03, 2014
Blackbird
"Dr. Deborah Serach Gold died on the cross sometime during a night of freezing rain in late October of my last year at Three. It probably wasn''t the worst thing that happened to her that day, but it had been over two decades in the making . . ." The day after a terrible storm, electricity still crackling in the air, a woman is found dead on the outskirts of a Texan town. She has been brutally attacked and nailed to a cross. The victim is Dr Deborah Gold, a psychologist who has taken a lot of people''s secrets to her grave. Which means a lot of suspects for Detective Jim Beaudry Bonham to investigate. And lately he could use some psychological help himself . . .

Broken Signposts

release date: Oct 01, 2020
Broken Signposts
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.

The Challenge of Acts

release date: Oct 17, 2024
The Challenge of Acts
This book offers a brief, clear and incisive introduction to the Acts of the Apostles. Acts is a substantial book, sitting right in the middle of the New Testament, looking back to the four Gospels and on to the mission of the early churches. It provides a framework for our understanding of the New Testament letters. It also shows us what it means to think of the gospel of Jesus, Israel''s Messiah, going out into the world over which Israel''s Messiah claims the status of Lord. Tom Wright explains how this meant confronting the wider culture of the Greek and Roman world, as well as the culture of the Jewish world. All of this is to be found in Acts, providing much food for thought as we ourselves face new questions about gospel and culture in our own day. Contents 1 Acts 1.1-11: To the Ends of the Earth! 2 Acts 1-4: The New Temple 3 Acts 5-8: Mission and Martyrdom 4 Acts 9-12: Breaking Through the Gentile Barrier 5 Acts 13-16: Converts and Controversy 6 Acts 17-20: Completing the Circle 7 Acts 17.16-34: The Unknown God? 8 Acts 21-24: Trouble in Jerusalem 9 Acts 25-28: And So to Rome

Virtue Reborn

release date: Feb 19, 2011
Virtue Reborn
What am I here for? How should I behave? Most Christians, faced with those questions, think in terms either of ''rules'' or of ''living authentically''. Both lead to problems. In this book, full of fresh biblical exploration, Bishop Tom Wright proposes instead that we inhabit the ancient tradition of virtue once again -- but from a thoroughly Christian, not just a philosophical, perspective. The virtues are the strengths we need to get to our goal. Following on from his popular best-selling books Simply Christian and Surprised by Hope, he sees the goal in terms of the whole new creation, with humans renewed to look after it.

Jesus and the Victory of God

release date: Jun 07, 2012
Jesus and the Victory of God
In this highly anticipated volume, N. T. Wright focuses directly on the historical Jesus: Who was he? What did he say? And what did he mean by it? Wright begins by showing how the questions posed by Albert Schweitzer a century ago remain central today. Then he sketches a profile of Jesus in terms of his prophetic praxis, his subversive stories, the symbols by which he reordered his world, and the answers he gave to the key questions that any world view must address. The examination of Jesus'' aims and beliefs, argued on the basis of Jesus'' actions and their accompanying riddles, is sure to stimulate heated response. Wright offers a provocative portrait of Jesus as Israel''s Messiah who would share and bear the fate of the nation and would embody the long-promised return of Israel''s God to Zion.
