Amazon Book Description
- Many regard Revelation as the hardest book in the New Testament. It is full of strange, lurid, and sometimes bizarre and violent imagery. As a result, people who are quite at home in the Gospels, Acts and Paul's letters find themselves tiptoeing around Revelation with a sense that they don't really belong there. But they do!
- This book offers one of the clearest and sharpest visions of God's ultimate purpose for the whole creation. Here we see how the powerful forces of evil can be and are being overthrown through the victory of Jesus the Messiah, which continues to inspire and strengthen his followers today. The guides in this series by Tom Wright can be used on their own or alongside his New Testament for Everyone commentaries1. They are designed to help you understand the Bible in fresh ways under the guidance of one of the world's leading New Testament scholars.
- N.T. WRIGHT is the former Bishop of Durham in the Church of England and one of the world’s leading Bible scholars. He is now serving as the Chair of New Testament and Early Christianity at the School of Divinity at the University of St. Andrews. For twenty years he taught New Testament studies at Cambridge, McGill and Oxford Universities. As being both one of the world’s leading Bible scholars and a popular author, he has been featured on ABC News, Dateline, The Colbert Report, and Fresh Air. His award-winning books include The Case for the Psalms, How God Became King, Simply Jesus, After You Believe, Surprised by Hope, Simply Christian, Scripture and the Authority of God, "Wright (N.T.) & Borg (Marcus J.) - The Meaning of Jesus", as well as being the translator for The Kingdom New Testament. He also wrote the impressive Christian Origins and the Question of God series, including "Wright (N.T.) - The New Testament and the People of God", "Wright (N.T.) - Jesus and the Victory of God", "Wright (N.T.) - The Resurrection of the Son of God" and most recently, "Wright (N.T.) - Paul and the Faithfulness of God".
In-Page Footnotes ("Wright (N.T.) - Revelation for Everyone")
Footnote 1:
- Has N.T. Wright (as distinct from Tom Wright) written both a commentary on and a guide to Revelation, or is there only one book? It seems not, from his latest publications list (Wright - Publications and Broadcasts). It would be nice to have a scholarly take on Revelation by Wright.
