A Beautiful Display of the Gospels. When Christians read the gospels, they think a God who came to earth, died for their sins, and was raised to promise them heaven. NT Wright shows how that is true and so much more! He exposes the missing middle of the gospels... the Kingdom! Jesus did not live for bye and bye, pie in the sky, but for power in the spirit to restore a broken world! If you haven’t read or have heard Dr. Wright is unorthodox try this book and test it with the scriptures! Jesus is a Jewish man bent on bringing a kingdom of suffering (from Isaiah). It inspired me to look at the gospels with fresh eyes! God bless.

An eye-opener!. This book really made me see that I have spent little time seeing Jesus as the reigning King. We hear songs like "The King is Coming" and think that his kingship is in the future when it is already established. I definitely see a neglect in my life of a study of the gospels and will task myself with reading them anew in their entirety. I highly recommend this book that makes you think!

Enjoyed Wright's interaction with the creeds. I enjoyed especially Wright's interaction with the ancient creeds.

How God Became King. Hard for me to follow, probably need to read again.

Not Just an Intellectual Exercise. This small book by Tom Wright is certainly worth the investment of dollars and time to read and understand. Be warned: Reading it, one takes on the Yoke of the Kingdom. The challenge then becomes keeping it "easy" and "light". Walking by faith in lock step with the Spirit is the challenge for all, new and old. The book is NOT just an intellectual exercise; it is a manifesto. Or should be. Again, be warned. Tom lays out the outlines of where he (under the authoritative rubrics of The Text) has been headed for years, explains the problem(s), elucidates the key Texts which generate his premise, and points us in the direction(s) The Kingdom is coming to actuality today on Planet Earth. It does raise as many questions as it answers... which is a good thing. It does not say everything can and needs to be said (admittedly), but it outlines the proper ideas concerning The Kingdom in Jesus' words and deeds. And... St. Paul's too! It explains much that is implicit in the how and whys found in St. Paul's (and the others) words and action in The Acts of the Apostles, and those writings we have theirs in the Canon. It seems to me, that beyond itself and it's own substantive content and message, this book is laying out necessary markers for Tom's next "Big Book" on St. Paul due out the Summer of 2013.
