It has been slowly dawning on me over many years that there is a fundamental problem deep at the heart of Christian faith and practice as I have known them . . . we have all forgotten what the four Gospels are about.’

‘Classic Wright: clear, accessible, robust, engaging and challenging.’

‘Wright argues compellingly that the twin themes of kingdom and cross are inseparably linked. . . This is a much-needed reorientation. The book makes its case for ‘rethinking’ cogently and deserves widespread attention.’
