A no-strain understanding of scriptural authority

This is N.T. Wright at his brilliant, sensible best. His perspective may be old-hat to some, but to an "evang-amentalist" like me, this book adds a whole dimension of truth and light to the place and power of the Scripture. Wright covers the subject matter without tearing the fabric of sound doctrine, nor leaving stretch-marks on common sense. As usual, "Beyond the Bible Wars" overflows with faith without parching the intellect.

N.T. (or Tom) Wright is a much needed voice in Christianity

N.T. Wright is just my favorite theologian these days. I am so thankful for his fresh perspective on theology. He has the mind of a theologian and the heart of a pastor which always makes the best theological work relevant to us. He is a key author for the emerging church in my opinion.

One of His Best

I read this book in its British "dress" titled "Scripture and the Authority of God" in the summer of 2005, beause I couldn't wait for its publication in the states. I'm glad I did. Since many Americans were not even aware of this British version until it appeared in the states right before ETS and SBL last November, I am copying my review of the British book, with a few additions, as it was posted last August.^M
