Tom Wright and Mike Bird give us the opportunity to appreciate the
breadth and detail of Wright’s vision of the New Testament – one of
the most far-reaching of recent times. The format of a New
Testament introduction means that we also get to fill in the gaps
on New Testament books that have not featured extensively in
Wright’s major books. We also get to find the answers to many "So,
what would he say about . . .?" questions. This book will be highly
valued by students, scholars, and churches.

School of Arts, Languages and Cultures, University of Manchester,

Interpreting the New Testament is a complex task and Wright and
Bird work at it with customary passion and a commitment to clarity
and coherence. These qualities make it an ideal starting-point for
anyone who wants to understand early Christianity and its canonical
texts.

Divinity, Melbourne, Australia*
This is the New Testament introduction of all New Testament
introductions! Not only is this a superb New Testament introduction
from the keyboards of two of today’s most prolific and balanced NT
scholars, but more advanced students will find here an accessible
and mature synthesis of and primer for N. T. Wright’s voluminous
work.

Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary*
