In this thoughtful follow-up to Simply Christian, today's leading Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and acclaimed author uses the Gospel of John to reveal how Christianity presents a compelling and relevant explanation for our world. N. T. Wright argues that every world view must explain seven "signposts," indicators inherent to humanity: Justice, Spirituality, Relationships, Beauty, Freedom, Truth, and Power.  If we do not live up to these ideals, our societies and individual lives become unbalanced, creating anger and frustration--negative emotions that divide us from ourselves and from God, he contends. Using the Gospel of John as his source, Wright shows how Christianity defines each signpost and illuminates why we so often see them as being "broken" and unattainable.  Drawing on the wisdom of the Gospels, Wright explains why these signposts are fractured and damaged and how Christianity provides the vision, guidance, and hope for making them whole once again, ultimately healing ourselves and our world. … (plus d'informations)

Wright uses the Gospel of John to set forth seven "signposts" of what life is meant to be which have been corrupted in their present form: justice, love, spirituality, beauty, freedom, truth, and power.

This work is for the lay reader, and if memory serves, represents a more lay approach to some of the premises from Wright's Gifford lecture on natural theology and new creation. Wright considers each of the seven principles/characteristics/what have you and shows what they are meant to be, why they are what they are, and how they find their fullness in what God is accomplishing in Jesus. The work also features "interludes" which provide assistance in understanding the Gospel of John to enhance the arguments made elsewhere.

An excellent work and worthy of consideration, for Wright does well in the general framework, approach, and textual exegesis. ( )
