Quotes
"Not since J.B. Philips have we had a good, fresh, crisp translation of the New Testament done by a single person who brings to the table the sort of breadth and depth of knowledge needed to do the job properly. If you were looking for such a translation, look no further. Tom Wright's new Kingdom New Testament is both faithful and fresh, both lucid and enlightening, both careful and creative. Bringing to bear his wealth of scholarship and a lifetime of study, Tom's Kingdom New Testament will serve us well for many years to come. Enthusiastically recommended."
- Dr. Ben Witherington, III, Amos Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary
"A splendid achievement! Tom Wright, the world's most influential New Testament interpreter, gives us in The Kingdom New Testament a readable and dynamic translation marked by precision, personality, and power. For the public reading of Scripture, The Kingdom New Testament will be unsurpassed. If I got to decide for the church, this is the one translation I'd want everyone to read. Time and time again as I was reading The Kingdom New Testament, I was marking in the margins words like this: 'Yes,' 'splendid,' 'perfect,' 'clever,' 'evocative,' and 'finally.'"
- Scot McKnight, Karl A. Olsson Professor in Religious Studies, North Park University
"A good translator of the New Testament needs three important qualifications. These include a mastery of the New Testament Greek, an exceptional command of modern English, and broad skills in and knowledge of New Testament interpretation. N.T. Wright is superbly competent in all three. As to translations themselves, often they are either too 'popular' or too 'formal.' This fresh translation of the New Testament strikes a fine balance between the two as it ably rescues truth from familiarity. The translation includes 38 helpful maps, mostly in Acts, that show clearly the movement of the apostles discussed in the text. I recommend it highly to all who love the New Testament."
- Kenneth E. Bailey, Professor of New Testament (Emeritus) The Ecumenical Institute, (Tantur) Jerusalem
"For some people, reading the Bible is like making a journey to a strange and forbidding land. For others, the Bible has grown old and stale, like an all-too-familiar old shoe. Welcome Tom Wright's years-in-the-making Kingdom New Testament: a comforting voice for struggling newcomers, a fresh voice for translation-tired veterans. I know of no one more qualified to take the message of the New Testament and put it into words that the modern person can fully understand."
- Nicholas Perrin, Franklin S. Dyrness Professor of Biblical Studies, Wheaton College
"[The Kingdom New Testament] will confirm Professor Wright's position as the J.K.Rowling of Christian Publishing."
