N. T. Wright is widely regarded as the most exciting and influential biblical scholar of the past two decades. In Jesus, Paul and the People of God, an international team of leading scholars assesses the impact and theological significance of N. T. Wright's major publications on the New Testament and Christian origins. The book includes two important new essays by N. T. Wright on the themes of historical Jesus studies and of Pauline studies and the life of the Church. Eight other essays critically interact with these two central themes, enabling the reader to gain a deeper appreciation of the key areas of debate, and of Wright's distinctive contribution to our present understanding.
