Een onmisbare uitleg van Handelingen voor zowel beginnende als doorgewinterde bijbellezers. In ‘Het geheim van Handelingen’ werpt Tom Wright, een van de meest vooraanstaande nieuwtestamentici, een nieuw licht op dit centrale boek uit het Nieuwe Testament. Met zijn diepgaande inzicht in theologische nuances en culturele context laat Wright het verhaal van de vroege kerk tot leven komen. Dit inspirerende commentaar is heel geschikt voor wie zijn eigen bijbellezing wil verdiepen en de verborgen kracht van de kerk wil herontdekken.

The story of The Who''s momentous first tours of America told through fabulous photos by the band''s official photographer and tour manager Tom Wright. Foreword by Pete Townshend Tom Wright first met Pete Townshend at Ealing Art School in the early 60s. He became The Who''s official tour photographer and manager from 1967 in the US, also managing the Grande Ballroom in Detroit where The Who''s rock opera Tommy premiered. He was much more than the band''s photographer, he was a friend and photographed them right up to their farewell tour in 1991. Tom''s vast record collection and musical influences had a big impact on the band in their early years. Their Generation covers The Who''s first tours of North America, a hugely creative time with explosive performances both on and off stage, the time of their US hit ''I Can See for Miles'' and much more. Through the fabulous photographs, many of which have never been seen before, we see the band backstage, onstage, on tour, at rehearsal, at ease, in studio, at home. The photos will be accompanied by extended captions providing background details of the time, the people and the places. As well as The Who, Tom Wright toured with the Rolling Stones, the Faces, The James Gang, J. D. Elvis Costello, The Eagles and many more, documenting their performances and life on the road. "One thing is certain, had I not met Tom Wright, The Who would never have become successful." Pete Townshend

Eine abgelegene tropische Insel mit einem geheimen Raketentestgelände mitten im Pazifik – das ist der Ort, an dem Matt Anderssen arbeitet, als eines Tages der Kontakt zur Außenwelt abbricht. Die letzten Nachrichten, die ihn noch erreichten, sprachen von einem Terrorakt und einer Seuche, welche die Welt an den Rand der Zerstörung bringen könnte. Nun trennen ihn fünftausend Meilen Ozean von seiner Frau und seinen Kindern, und Matt muss zu ihnen zurückkehren, koste es, was es wolle. Zusammen mit zwei Freunden begibt er sich auf eine Odyssee über das Meer, wo nicht nur Stürme und Piraten, sondern auch Hoffnungslosigkeit und Selbstzweifel lauern ...

Twelve Months of Sundays provides the perfect way to gather your thoughts in preparation for Sunday worship, or for regular Bible study throughout the year. Here are reflections on the Sunday readings in the Revised Common Lectionary, covering all the Sundays and major festivals in Years A, B and C. Each reflection is brimming with Tom Wright''s insights into the world and language of the Bible, encouraging a richer understanding and deeper appreciation of the Word of the Lord.

"How should a Christian engage with politics? Some encourage political activism while others advocate withdrawal, but the answer is far from clear. In Christ and the Powers, N.T. Wright and Michael Bird argue that Christians should faithfully and earnestly contribute while vigorously opposing political schemes based on autocracy and nationalism"--

Following the sudden resignation of manager Dave Ewing in 1971, former player Eddie Turnbull was to turn over a new leaf for a team facing relegation. Playing from 1946 to 1959 and forming part of the Hibernian''s ''Famous Five'' forward line, Turnbull would now take the managerial hot seat at his hallowed Easter Road. From Hibernian historian Tom Wright comes a fascinating, in-depth look into the whirlwind seasons for a Hibs side under Eddie Turnbull: the players, fans, successes, clashes, defeats, controversies and more. Going down in history with just one major title, behold the rise and eventual fall of the magical Turnbull''s Tornadoes – possibly Hib''s greatest ever side.

Join Tom Wright on a journey through the New Testament as he explores the meaning of Jesus: the highs and lows of his earthly life, the power of his teaching and his victory over sin and death.

Arriving from his East Midlands beginnings into a London thick with the grime of industrialization, Joseph Merrick is an anomaly. In a city of factories that churn out uniformity, there is no place for someone like him. But Merrick and the city are evolving into something new. We follow him through the workhouse, the freak show and the hospital, as he searches for acceptance in a society that just wants to stare at him. Powerful, angry and surprising, Tom Wright''s acclaimed play imagines an alternative history of the person who came to be known as ''the Elephant Man''. It restores Joseph Merrick to the center of his own story: a man fighting for his right to be and to belong. The Real & Imagined History of the Elephant Man was first performed at Melbourne''s Malthouse Theatre, before receiving its European premiere at Nottingham Playhouse in 2023, directed by Stephen Bailey, and supported by a grant from The Royal Theatrical Support Trust.

An in-depth study of Romans from today''s leading interpreter of Paul.

A tough inner-city school, proud of its inclusivity, suddenly explodes in a rapidly escalating culture war. Sex secrets, hip-hop and hope fight for centre stage in a vibrant, loud and proud, real talk rollercoaster. Tom Wright''s hard-hitting new play tackles contemporary issues in a school setting, published to coincide with Coventry''s year as City of Culture.

In a desperate attempt to bring some spark back to their all-too-cosy married life, professional millennials Michael and Phil switch a sherry on the couch for a night on the town. Their goal: to get in with Generation Z by trying to get off with one. Enter fit, sexy, confident Quasim. But the ''just for one night'' adventure brings shocking revelations as Michael and Phil discover more about the 20-year-old boy in their bed than they ever wanted to know, and their suburban dream is shaken to its core. Following the sold out runs of critical hits Undetectable (nominated for 3 Off West End Awards) and My Dad''s Gap Year (nominated for 4 Off West End Awards), Tom Wright''s darkly comedic and wildly sexy new play is his most provocative show to date.

Tom Wright, een expert in Paulusstudies, onderzoekt de stelling dat Paulus, niet Jezus, het christendom stichtte. Hij concludeert dat Paulus niet de stichter is, ondanks discussies. In de vele Jezus- en Paulusstudies die in de afgelopen jaren zijn verschenen, duikt van tijd tot tijd de gedachte op dat niet Jezus van Nazaret, maar Paulus van Tarsus de stichter was van het christendom. Het is echter de vraag of deze stelling houdbaar is in het licht van het modern bijbels-historisch onderzoek. Is er inderdaad voldoende grond om te stellen dat ''Jezus geen christen was''? In dit boek zet Tom Wright, een autoriteit op het gebied van Paulusstudies, de argumenten nog eens op een rijtje. Hij geeft daarbij niet alleen een helder overzicht van de huidige stand van zaken in het onderzoek van Paulus, maar trekt ook nieuwe lijnen. Zijn conclusie, na een grondige studie van alle gegevens, is dat Paulus niet als de stichter van het christendom gezien kan worden. Hoewel de auteur op een wetenschappelijk niveau theologie bedrijft, heeft hij kans gezien in dit boek het onderwerp voor iedere theologisch geïnteresseerde helder te maken. Tom Wright is deken van Lichfield in de Anglicaanse Kerk. Hij is als hoogleraar Nieuwe Testament verbonden geweest aan Oxford, Cambridge en de McGill universiteit. Van zijn hand verschijnen regelmatig wetenschappelijke publicaties over Paulus en zijn brieven.

Justice, Love, Spirituality, Beauty, Freedom, Truth and Power. These are ideals that we all strive for, yet so often we find ourselves falling short. Why is that? In this deeply insightful meditation, Tom Wright looks to the Gospel of John for answers. With his characteristic wisdom, he shows how John can help us to see not only why we strive for these ideals, or ''signposts'', but also why we so often experience them as broken. He also shows how Christianity provides us with the vision and resources for engaging with the questions posed by each signpost, pointing to a clear and compelling explanation of the world, and of our role and responsibility within it.

‘Superbly written, utterly Bible based. . . Do not hesitate!’ Archbishop Justin Welby What are we supposed to think about the coronavirus crisis? Some people think they know: ‘This is a sign of the End,’ they say. ‘It’s all predicted in the book of Revelation.’ Others disagree but are equally clear: ‘This is a call to repent. God is judging the world and through this disease he’s telling us to change.’ Some join in the chorus of blame and condemnation: ‘It’s the fault of the Chinese, the government, the World Health Organization...'' Tom Wright examines these reactions to the virus and finds them wanting. Instead, he invites you to consider a different way of seeing and responding – a way that draws on the teachings and examples of scripture, and above all on the way of living, thinking and praying revealed to us by Jesus.

Hospital For Sinners is the culmination of nearly thirty years of planning and preparation. The idea was first conceived in the late 1970''s; thus, we have a storied history of the religious right and its components from 1979 to 2006. During this time period the supposedly light of the world has become darkened by sex-scandals, misappropriation of funds, and sundry other lewd behaviors. Our church leadership is in pursuit of money and power, while hiding behind a mask of self-righteousness and political associations. Does God want Christians to clothe themselves in sackcloth and ashes? No! Nor does He desire one to ride around in a Rolls-Royce either.

Named a Best Book of 2018 by the Financial Times and Fortune, this "thrilling" (Bill Gates) New York Times bestseller exposes how a "modern Gatsby" swindled over $5 billion with the aid of Goldman Sachs in "the heist of the century" (Axios). Now a #1 international bestseller, Billion Dollar Whale is "an epic tale of white-collar crime on a global scale" (Publishers Weekly), revealing how a young social climber from Malaysia pulled off one of the biggest heists in history. In 2009, a chubby, mild-mannered graduate of the University of Pennsylvania''s Wharton School of Business named Jho Low set in motion a fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude--one that would come to symbolize the next great threat to the global financial system. Over a decade, Low, with the aid of Goldman Sachs and others, siphoned billions of dollars from an investment fund--right under the nose of global financial industry watchdogs. Low used the money to finance elections, purchase luxury real estate, throw champagne-drenched parties, and even to finance Hollywood films like The Wolf of Wall Street. By early 2019, with his yacht and private jet reportedly seized by authorities and facing criminal charges in Malaysia and in the United States, Low had become an international fugitive, even as the U.S. Department of Justice continued its investigation. Billion Dollar Whale has joined the ranks of Liar''s Poker, Den of Thieves, and Bad Blood as a classic harrowing parable of hubris and greed in the financial world.

[CDATA[Hibernian Football Club, founded by a group of Edinburgh-based Irishmen and Irish descendents, was born in the Cowgate area of the city in 1875. A team of the people, its long history, heritage and rise to fame has created a tradition and influence that helped shape the game as we know it today. In Hibernian: The Life and Times of a Famous Football Club, Tom Wright looks at Edinburgh''s Hibernian Football club from its birth in 1875 to the present day. An anecdotal and personal journey, this volume highlights the many challenges, and lows and highs experienced by the team and its dedicated fans over the last 142 years; exploring the events that shaped the club from both World Wars, Hibs'' ''Famous Five'' days, the European Cup and the Scottish Cup win in 2016.]]

On 21 May this year, Hibs made history by winning the Scottish Cup for the first time since 1902. It was a time of celebration when the supporters revelled in their victory and remembered the great heroes of the club. Eric Stevenson is one of those great heroes. When he was inducted into the Hibs Hall of Fame at Easter Road in 2012, Stevenson declared, ''This means everything to me. My uncle founded the Bonnyrigg Hibs supporters club in 1949–50 and I started going to games when I was seven''. This book traces Stevenson''s fanatical interest in the club from a very young age, his time as a left-winger wearing the number eleven green and white jersey in the ''60s, and the well-deserved recognition that he has gained today. Throughout his career, Stevenson also played for Hearts and Ayr United, but this story shows that ultimately he is truly Hibs Through and Through.
