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. 

In Broken Signposts EPB, N. T. Wright provides a durable framework for our most pressing questions:
The Seven Signposts: An examination of the universal human ideals—Justice, Spirituality, Relationships, Beauty, Freedom, Truth, and Power—and a clear diagnosis of why they feel so broken in the modern world.The Gospel of John: A fresh reading of the fourth gospel, revealing it not as an escape from the world but as God’s blueprint for mending it.Biblical Scholarship: The accessible and profound insight of N. T. Wright, one of today’s foremost New Testament scholars, applied to the questions that keep us up at night.A Coherent Worldview: A compelling argument for how the Christian faith provides a more satisfying and relevant explanation for our lives and our world than secular alternatives.
