N. T. Wright latest book "Simply Jesus" tries to take up where "Simply Christian" left off or maybe more accurate, tries do something similar in presenting Jesus to the modern world in a way that simply makes sense. I actually like "Simply Jesus" better than Wright's earlier work. I am only about half way through it but Wright gives so many insights into Jesus teachings, that alone is worth the price of the book. Wright is known for keeping things close to the Jewish culture of Jesus day and has an engaging way of us possibly getting a glimpse into the mind of Jesus in the ways he looked at things from a Jewish perspective.
Some of the engaging ideas that have huge discipleship implications is looking at the world with an apocalyptic vision, reading the Bible as a kind of "resistance manual" and living way in such a way that heaven and earth connect. When it comes to God's heavenly kingdom on earth, don't miss it!
