Tom Wright has undertaken a tremendous task: to provide guides to all the books of the New Testament, and to include in them his own translation of the entire text. Each short passage is followed by a highly readable discussion, with background information, useful explanations and suggestions, and thoughts as to how the text can be relevant to our lives today. A glossary is included at the back of the book. The series is suitable for group study, personal study, or daily devotions. Baptist Times For those seeking to deepen their understanding of the Bible or preachers looking for ways to apply the passage on a Sunday morning, this looks like a very good series to acquire.

Wright-the British New Testament scholar who also publishes as "N.T." Wright-writes well and with an easy style. The short commentaries tackle New Testament books without being weighed down by internecine debates, heavy-handed arguments about translations or a jumble of Greek vocabulary. In March, Westminster John Knox will release the first eight books (some of which are in two volumes), on each of the four gospels and some of Paul's letters. Future volumes will take up Acts, other letters and that ever-controversial bugbear, Revelation. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.\ \
