About this listen

In Simply Jesus, bestselling author and leading Bible scholar N.T. Wright summarizes 200 years of modern Biblical scholarship and models how Christians can best retell the story of Jesus today. In a style similar to C.S. Lewis’s popular works, Wright breaks down the barriers that prevent Christians from fully engaging with the story of Jesus. For believers confronting the challenge of connecting with their faith today, and for readers of Timothy Keller’s The Reason for God, Wright’s Simply Jesus offers a provocative new picture of how to understand who Jesus was and how Christians should relate to him today.

Wright is expert at Making biblical themes simple enough to grasp, without dumbing down or eroding essential, profound truths and meaning. Wright’s approach to the the biblical Jesus is still refreshing and inspiring to me, a long time Christian. I will keep referring to this text and be more than happy to pass it on to non-believers as well.

Profoundly simple and erudite

It was challenging hearing the scriptures from the middle eastern perspective. So thankful to have them explained.

So many nuggets. I am going to have to listen to this again.

Was slightly put off by the sample of the narration style, but once I became used to the narrators cadence, ended up being very good. Listened at about an hour at a time whilst running, and found that anything less than this was difficult to really get into. Definitely the sort of audio book that needs to be listened to at length, not taken in small bites and chunks.
Overall great book but that hardly needs to be said of NT Wright

Well worth the effort

This was my first book by NT Wright and will not be my last, this is how I love to be taught, great biblical references and historical facts. I was suitably impressed and will listen to this book again. I am inspired to be a better person and Representative for Jesus.

A great resource

I don't know why this book was about my 20th of Wright's books. I thought I knew what there was to know about Jesus. But this one nailed it down better. How He wasn't the Messiah they wanted because He had a far different plan, how it was no more business as usual now He'd arrived, what it meant for Him to become king of the world, and what it meant to be His follower, and what it means today. It is far different from what most Christians think - at least in the evangelical world. If you want your faith shaken up and refreshed, read this book.
