Summary

New Testament scholar N.T. Wright challenges centuries of misreading the Gospels by revealing their central story: the coronation of God through Jesus as the climax of human history. Tracing a narrative from Eden to Jesus and into the present, Wright calls readers to refocus spirituality on cooperating with God's kingdom here and now, rather than on the afterlife. This fresh perspective realigns Christian mission and belief with the original Gospel message.

Description

New Testament scholar N.T. Wright reveals how we have been misreading the Gospels for centuries, powerfully restoring the lost central story of the Scripture: that the coronation of God through the acts of Jesus was the climax of human history.

Wright fills the gaps that centuries of misdirection have opened up in our collective spiritual story, tracing a narrative from Eden, to Jesus, to today. Wright’s powerful re-reading of the Gospels helps us re-align the focus of our spiritual beliefs, which have for too long been focused on the afterlife. Instead, the forgotten story of the Gospels reveals why we should understand that our real charge is to sustain and cooperate with God's kingdom here and now.

Echoing the triumphs of Simply Christian and The Meaning of Jesus, Wright’s How God Became King is required reading for any Christian searching to understand their mission in the world today.
