N.T. Wright

Tom (N.T.) Wright is the former Bishop of Durham of the Anglican Church and a leading British New Testament scholar. Ordinarily he is known as "Tom Wright", although his academic work has always been published under the name "NT Wright" (Nicholas Thomas). He is generally perceived as coming from a moderately evangelical perspective. He is associated with the so-called Third Quest for the Historical Jesus, and the New Perspective on Paul (a complex movement with many unique positions, originating from the probing works of James Dunn and E. P. Sanders). He argues that the current understanding of Jesus must be connected with what is known to be true about him from the historical perspective of first century Judaism and Christianity.

Wright has written over 30 books and has introduced a New Book Simply Jesus: a Thought-Provoking and Entertaining Perspective on Who Jesus Was.

In the tradition of C. S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity for believers confronting the challenge of connecting with their faith today, SIMPLY JESUS: A New Vision of Who He Was, What He Did, and Why He Matters offers a provocative new picture of how to understand who Jesus was and how we should relate to him today.
