Wright, whom I believe is more of a Pauline scholar than a gospels scholar, has injected new life into modern views of Jesus and Paul. Yet his works are firmly grounded in orthodox church doctrine. All of his writing is steeped in meditation and prayer, not merely research. He strives to apply the story of Scripture (the gospel) to our place and time in history. As such, his works, both scholarly and devotional, are accessible, relevant, enjoyable, and powerful. I highly recommend his writing.
I'm using this book as a series of Lenten reflections. But it is appropriate for devotional reading anytime during the year. Highly recommended.
