Books that Bless

All books written by Bishop Tom Wright
"Following Jesus: Biblical Reflections on Discipleship" An excellent summary of some New Testament books - Hebrews, Colossians, Matthew, John, Mark and Revelation. This is followed by six chapters - The god who raises the dead; The Mind
Renewed, Temptation, Hell, Heaven and Power, New Life - New World.

"Scripture and the Authority of God" Significantly challenging about how we are to understand and respond to that authority.
Very dynamic. Hermeneutics is becoming a serious issue for me to explore. The "Scripture & Hermeneutics Series" is proving valuable.

"JUSTIFICATION" is a / the response to foolish attacks. This is an important book relocating the focus on the New Testament as
a Jewish literature not Greek. Let the language of the New Testament speak from the Narrative of the total scripture. The base line is Second Temple Jewish world not later Greek thought.

"Tom Wright for Everyone" by Stephen Kuhrt. Sadly is a book that was required to be written. Given that Tom Wright has been
cut out of far too many church 'spaces'! An excellent read.
