Tom Wright is the former Bishop of Durham in the Church of England and is viewed by many as one of the greatest New Testament Scholars alive today. He’s written extensively on Jesus; both academic tomes and books written for people like you and I.
Simply Jesus, looks at how the historical forces of Jewish Nationalism and Roman Imperialism collided during the life of Jesus. Wright’s strength is in uniting seemingly divergent themes and pulling them together to show how Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan.
Simply Jesus is a very accessible book and is an invaluable resource for understanding Jesus’s life and history. Go out and read it for yourself!
