The bishop, Bible scholar, modern heir to C. S. Lewis, and revered author of Simply Christian and Simply Jesus offers a fresh look at the Gospel, explaining in this work of popular Christian theology why Jesus’ message is “good news” and why it is more timely and transforming today than we know.

The Gospel means good news. But if the message has been around for 2,000 years, what makes it significant today? What’s so “good” about stories involving damnation, violence, and a God who sacrifices his only son?

Noted Bible scholar N.T. Wright shows us how Christians today have lost sight of what the “good news” of the gospel really is. In Simply Good News, he takes us back in time to reveal how the people of the first-century—the gospel’s original audience—would have received Jesus’ message. He offer a clear and thoughtful analysis of what the “good news” really is, and applies it to our lives today, revealing its power for transformation and new creation.

But what is the gospel if it isn’t just a way to get to heaven?
What is the Gospel?: Discover why the original good news was not a system for getting to heaven, but a world-changing announcement that God is becoming king—on earth as in heaven.First-Century Context: Travel back in time with N.T. Wright to understand how Jesus's original audience would have heard his message, and why it was so revolutionary.The Kingdom of God: Explore the true biblical meaning of God's kingdom and how modern Christians have often misunderstood its power and purpose for today.Christian Apologetics for Today: Find clear, thoughtful answers to the toughest questions about the Christian faith from a modern heir to C.
