Tom Wright, Research Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of St Andrews and acclaimed author, writer and theologian, requires no introduction to readers of Life and Work.
In this, his latest hardback, he asks readers to consider in greater detail the gamechanging moment at the very heart of the Christian faith, namely the crucifixion of Jesus.
He argues that the Reformation did not go far enough in reshaping understanding of what happened on the Cross and asks readers to consider that this was not just an extraordinary moment, but rather the beginning of a transformative worldwide revolution that has stretched through time to today.
Endorsed by the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams (now Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge’ as a work that distils ‘immense scholarship into vivid, clear and accessible form’, this work will appeal to theologians and those seeking a deeper meaning of the Resurrection.
