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 Jesusâ message is âgood newsâ 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? Whatâs so âgoodâ 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 âgood newsâ of the gospel really is. In Simply Good News, he takes us back in time to reveal how the people of the first-centuryâthe gospelâs original audienceâwould have received Jesusâ message. He offer a clear and thoughtful analysis of what the âgood newsâ really is, and applies it to our lives today, revealing its power to transform us.
