Meagan ，

I will read just about anything by N。 T。 Wright。 （I promise it has nothing to do with the accent 。。。 truly 。。。 ） :DThis is a great starting point/introduction to Wright's writings， presented topically。 It's a bit clunky to read via Kindle， unless you don't mind reading straight through; I like to jump around from topic to topic in books like this， and usually would go for a physical copy for ease of doing just that。 It's like travel guidebooks--I'm often poking around from city to city， right， a I will read just about anything by N。 T。 Wright。 （I promise it has nothing to do with the accent 。。。 truly 。。。 ） :DThis is a great starting point/introduction to Wright's writings， presented topically。 It's a bit clunky to read via Kindle， unless you don't mind reading straight through; I like to jump around from topic to topic in books like this， and usually would go for a physical copy for ease of doing just that。 It's like travel guidebooks--I'm often poking around from city to city， right， and that doesn't typically occur in a logical order--for me， anyway！ :）But， this is neat to have as a reference at hand。 I haven't read all; of Wright's books， and even if I had， this is a helpful resource to be able to review what he's written on given topics。 It'll certainly prompt me to visit those books I've not read， and often feels （in a good way） like an appetizer or sampler platter--whetting the appetite and providing direction on where to go next。 Could also be helpful to use as a starting point for devotional or quiet-time use。4/5 stars。I received an eARC of the book from the publisher via NetGalley。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

Hannah Monson ，

In this book， N。T。 Wright compiles many passages from his previous writings to meditate on the phrase “on earth as in heaven” from Easter to Easter。 As I have very little experience with Wright， this was a good primer for me， but I did find that I wanted more from some sections。 I suppose the answer to this is to read the cited work， but I felt somewhat wanting at times。 Honestly， it’s been several years since I took a theology course， so this felt a bit over my head， but there were moments of c In this book， N。T。 Wright compiles many passages from his previous writings to meditate on the phrase “on earth as in heaven” from Easter to Easter。 As I have very little experience with Wright， this was a good primer for me， but I did find that I wanted more from some sections。 I suppose the answer to this is to read the cited work， but I felt somewhat wanting at times。 Honestly， it’s been several years since I took a theology course， so this felt a bit over my head， but there were moments of clarity （on my part， not Wright’s） where I saw brilliance。 。。。more

David ，

A compilation of N。 T。 Wright's theological writings， arranged by topic。 Most of the excerpts are 1-2 pages long organized by his son into topics such as Easter， Beauty， Ascension， Pentecost， Advent and Justice。 For those new to Wright's works， this is an excellent introduction。 For fans like me， it is an opportunity to see his writings over the years put together by topic。 It is interesting to notice the changes in style and emphasis in his various works。The only criticism I have of the book is A compilation of N。 T。 Wright's theological writings， arranged by topic。 Most of the excerpts are 1-2 pages long organized by his son into topics such as Easter， Beauty， Ascension， Pentecost， Advent and Justice。 For those new to Wright's works， this is an excellent introduction。 For fans like me， it is an opportunity to see his writings over the years put together by topic。 It is interesting to notice the changes in style and emphasis in his various works。The only criticism I have of the book is that I often finished an excerpt and wanted more。 The passages are lacking the context in which they were first written。 In that respect， this book is not a substitute for Wright's longer works， but should whet the appetite for more。Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an advance reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
