Building on his critically acclaimed Gifford Lectures, N. T. Wright presents a richly nuanced case for a theology that is based on a renewed understanding of historical knowledge, and in particular of the historical Jesus.
N.T. Wright is Research Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of St Andrews. He has written over forty books, including the monumental Jesus and the Victory of God (1996) and The Resurrection of the Son of God (2003). He is also the author of the popular 'For Everyone' guides to the New Testament and the best-selling Simply Christian, Surprised by Hope, Virtue Reborn, Simply Jesus and How God Became King (all published by SPCK).
'In this extraordinary reappraisal of the traditions of natural
theology, N. T. Wright deploys his intellectual energy with
surprising punch to address. . . the fundamental problems posed for
theology by modernity. Critics may be provoked, but fans will be
delighted.’
*Frances Young, OBE, FBA, Emeritus Professor of Theology,
University of Birmingham*
‘A creative and arresting contribution to natural theology, this
book argues for the plausibility of the Christian vision of the
relation between God and the world by taking seriously the history
of Jesus Christ.’
*Miroslav Volf, Professor of Theology, Yale University*
‘A tour de force, placing history – and Jesus himself! – back at
the heart of natural theology.
*John Behr, Regius Professor of Humanity, University of
Aberdeen*
‘An impressive and timely publication. . . Bold, lively, and
accessible, it will generate widespread discussion.’
*David Fergusson, OBE, FBA, FRSE, Professor of Divinity, University
of Edinburgh*
‘This powerfully argued book deserves to rank as Tom Wright’s
crowning achievement.’
*John Cottingham, Professor of Philosophy of Religion, Roehampton
University*
