Christianity for the Rest of Us

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The most important book of the decade about emerging Christianity and the renewal of mainline congregations. Exciting and encouraging, hopeful and helpful, and filled with examples of vital Christian practices from which all interested in the future of the church can learn.”

Fortress Commentary on the Bible

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Although still a fierce crank about and critic of the commentary as an academic-intellectual genre and religio-cultural-political refraction, I am intrigued by this new project: the editors seem to me—certainly, in the framing material, with its raising of ex-centric and broad problems, questions, and issues—to be working in the direction of destabilization of genre. And so as an effort in destabilization of genre I applaud this 'commentary.'" —Vincent L. Wimbush Institute for Signifying Scriptures, Claremont Graduate University "Very impressive—the best one-volume scholarly commentary on the New Testament available today.”

Jesus and the Victory of God

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“With this brilliant and thoroughly argued book, N. T. Wright has established himself as the leading British Jesus scholar of his generation. He thinks we can know quite a bit about the aims and beliefs of Jesus—not just about what he said and did but about the mind of Jesus himself.”

The Historical Jesus for Beginners

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This very helpful book delivers what it promises and more. It combines a lucid introduction to the basics of historical Jesus scholarship with extended excerpts from several of todays' scholars, thus putting the reader in touch with a number of voices. And more: it explores the implications of Jesus scholarship for those to whom it matters most, namely, Christians and churches in our time. Recommended not only for beginners, but also for those who already have some familiarity with this fascinating and important subject.”

The Human Being

Theology

“An impressive book. Brilliant and passionate, powerful and provocative, a remarkable integration of religion, psychology, politics, the quest for Jesus, and our yearning for 'The Human Being' that we see in Jesus. Wink fills us with a passion for becoming truly human.”
