Quotes

"N. T. Wright's biblical scholarship has had a profound, formative influence on many of us. He has helped us see the Bible in a new way - a narrative way - and the results have been exhilarating. Now he turns attention to our assumptions about the Bible itself - and opens for us a path beyond of the paralyzing polarization of "liberal" and "conservative."


- Brian McLaren, author of A New Kind of Christian
"The Bishop of Durham packs concise history, clear thinking, clever images, and contemporary churchmanship into 'a tract for the times.' Scripture and the Authority of God is a fabulous book. With characteristic verve and occasionally pungent grace. Scripture and the Authority of God could be the beginning of a more faithful listening, as well as sustaining more fruitful conversation about the nature of biblical interpretation."


- Books&Culture
"The best book of its kind available."


- The Christian Century
"In a fashion that is both old fashioned and new fangled at the same time Bishop Wright takes us through a sane and helpful study of what it means to treat the Bible as the authoritative Word of God. Highly Recommended!"


- Ben Witherington, author of The Brother of Jesus
"Written by one of the leading Christian thinkers in the world today, this book is a refreshing and accessible resource concerning the perennial question of biblical authority that moves the discussion beyond the liberal-conservative impasse of our times. Highly Recommended."


- John R. Franke, Professor of Theology, Biblical Theological Seminary
"Here is Bishop Wright at his best-probing, provocative, insightful, ever reframing old questions and old debates, always inviting a fresh encounter with Holy Scripture as a living, dynamic reality.  This is a book of uncommon wisdom for all who read and love the Bible."


- Timothy George, Dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University and Executive Editor of Christianity Today
"This wide-ranging whirlwind-tour account of Scripture channeling God's authority, with its tweaking of distortions back into shape and its first-class approach to Bible study, is masterly throughout."


- J. I Packer, Professor of Theology, Regent College
"Wright offers sensible insights on the transforming power of God, very necessary in these times of skepticism and confusion."


- Publishers Weekly
"Theologians, ministers, laypeople and anyone interested in the discussion on the authority of Christian Scripture should read and discuss this book."


- Open Source Theology
"Wright's excellent scholarly preparation, experience, and training give him an edge in proclaiming a balanced and refreshing future status of the Bible."


- Library Journal
"Wright appeals to the reader to take another look at the Bible, not as an isolated phenomenon-a veritable rule book similarly applicable at all times and in all places-but rather as a book better placed within both the contemporary cultural context and as part of a larger tradition of interpretation."


- Explorefaith.org
"Wright is a provocative theologian... there is so much here that you will wish that it were longer-- but its brevity makes for easy reading and it certainly deserves to be read."


- Church of England Newspaper
"With his usual clarity of thought and mastery of expression, Dr. Wright takes his readers on one of the most refreshing and insightful tours of what the Bible itself presents as the relationship between its authority and God's authority and how that works itself out in the life of the Church. This volume deserves to be taken seriously and is a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate."


- Evangelicals Now
"This highly readable book pleads for the Bible to be given a central place in the church. shrewd. "


- Evangelical Times
"The whole book gives further cause for gratitude for God's gift of Wright to his Church."
