Best Selling Books by Tom Wright

This book offers a brief, clear and incisive introduction to the Acts of the Apostles. Acts is a substantial book, sitting right in the middle of the New Testament, looking back to the four Gospels and on to the mission of the early churches. It provides a framework for our understanding of the New Testament letters. It also shows us what it means to think of the gospel of Jesus, Israel''s Messiah, going out into the world over which Israel''s Messiah claims the status of Lord. Tom Wright explains how this meant confronting the wider culture of the Greek and Roman world, as well as the culture of the Jewish world. All of this is to be found in Acts, providing much food for thought as we ourselves face new questions about gospel and culture in our own day.

In The Vision of Ephesians Tom Wright takes you on an exciting journey through one of the most profound texts in the New Testament. In just a few powerful pages, Ephesians presents a sweeping panorama of the Christian gospel, tracing God''s redemptive plan from the creation of the world to the time when God will be ''all in all''. At its core, the book highlights the transformative work of Jesus the Messiah and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. Wright masterfully unpacks Paul''s vision of the church - what it is, what it is for, and what it means to be part of the new humanity that God is creating in Jesus. This breath-taking vision of God''s purpose for humanity comes into sharper focus when we remember that Paul was writing from prison, urging his readers to engage in spiritual warfare, standing firm in the victory won on the cross as that victory unfolds across the world. The Vision of Ephesians is a must-read for anyone seeking to grasp the depth and beauty of one of the New Testament''s most captivating letters.
