Overview:

N.T. Wright is one of the world’s leading New Testament scholars and a prolific author, many of his books award winners. This is an updated version of his initial translation of the New Testament. The professor, in accomplishing this work, “wanted to be not only as accurate as possible but also wanted to convey the energy and excitement of the original text.” Readers will feel that excitement as they read and study this translation.

Each book of the Bible is preceded by a short description of that book that introduces it to the reader and prepares the reader for digging deeper. Definitely a great addition to the shelves of Christians.
