Once again, Bishop N.T. Wright’s eye-opening journey through key biblical passages promises to radically alter the work of the church and the direction of our lives. In the tradition of his award-winning Surprised by Hope, Wright turns readers to the surprisingly neglected question of how Christians ought to live in the here and now. After You Believe argues that people are so preoccupied with getting into heaven that they forget that much of the New Testament is about daily life - even the passages about heaven. By examining the virtues that are the goals of the Christian life, Wright helps readers find new purpose and clarity for today.
N. T. Wright is Bishop of Durham in the Church of England and one of world’s leading Bible scholars. He has been featured on ABC News, Dateline, and Fresh Air. He taught New Testament studies for twenty years at Cambridge, McGill and Oxford Universities. He is the award-winning author of Surprised by Hope, Simply Christian, The Challenge of Jesus, The Meaning of Jesus (co-authored with Marcus Borg), and the much heralded multi-volume series Christian Origins and the Question of God.
“With characteristic verve and luminous clarity Tom Wright now brings his learning and insight to bear on the complex field of ethics. He slices through both old and new conundrums by using - and renewing - the ancient key of virtue and the transformed character. Here is deep Christian wisdom for a bewildered age.” - John Pritchard, Bishop of Oxford
