Simply Christian by Tom Wright

Thanks to Ian from the Parish of Wonersh for permitting the use of the review he wrote on “Simply Christian.”

I think this is Simply the best book I read in 2008. A modern thinker (theologian, New Testament scholar, evangelical, Bishop of Durham) sets out to write a modern version of C.S. Lewis’ “Mere Christianity”, i.e. a guide to faith for the thoughful layperson. Very creatively, he starts from five things modern people are seeking, and explores how God satisfies these hungers in Christ. Quality writing, simple but profound. Superb!
