God in Public

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“return” of God to public life—some of us think he never actually left—has taken many people by surprise and produced a great deal of nuanced analysis (as well as a fair share of nonsense). What we have been lacking until now, however, is a robust and thoughtful biblical critique of this phenomenon: what it means and how we should respond. Few could have done this with the depth and fluency of Tom Wright, and those familiar with his work will not be disappointed. God in Public is essential reading for those who want to navigate our changing landscape by drawing on, rather than ignoring, the map and compass that the Bible offers us.”
