In this timely book, Tom Wright addresses some key questions relating to the ‘return’ of God to public life and presents an intelligent and thoughtful Biblical critique of this phenomenon. One of the ‘signs of our times’ is that addressing the wider world with the Christian message is difficult and contentious. We have lived for a long time in an implicit split-level universe where ‘God’ is detached from this world, but in his book,
Wright demonstrates the many ways in which faithful interpretation of scripture can throw fresh light on the great pressing, political and ethical issues of our day. He brings together the message of Jesus in its larger Biblical context and the challenges of the contemporary public and political worlds. This is a compelling book which challenges us to think through the issues of the day in the light of the gospel of Jesus and address them with courage and wisdom.
