Description: Drawing on a collection of lectures that Tom Wright delivered from 1999 to 2015, God in Public brings together the message of Jesus - in its larger biblical context - and the challenges of the contemporary public and political worlds. Those new to Tom Wright will find this book an ideal introduction into his writings. In this book, Wright challenges the west's response to 9/11 and then expands to discuss a more Jesus inspired way of approaching the public problems we find ourselves in, based on the following Jesus' life and teachings. Questions such as: What has Christianity to do with power? Why must the church remind those in authority of their responsibilities? And What can Christians do to act as the voice of the voiceless? Are central in this book as Wright demonstrates the many ways in which faithful exegesis of scripture can throw fresh light - God's light - on the great philosophical and ethical problems of our day.

Review: Alistair Campbell famously interrupted Tony Blair by saying "we don't do God" There are many in the Church and outside it who think that the Church should be kept out of the public square. NT Wright demolishes every argument for that view and shows how the church must engage its mission within public, civic life.

Review: This opportunistic, hypocritical postmodern, Christian author had chosen (p. 25) to paraphrase the great modern jazz composer, Charles Mingus: the traditional/experimental/modernist black musician who had been struggling with his own instability - on the shaky ground of mid-to-late 20C WASP-America (he had faced forced eviction and crucifying liner notes, from his own psychiatrist, on his changeable, soul-searchingly reactive nature). Wright has turned Mingus' dark narrative into a contradictory soundbite in short, whitewashed order merely to further his own biblical BS agenda - Postmodernism at its very (up-itself) worst! These folks generally take on popular love-songs by substituting the word: GOD; this above example is far more egregious than that, though - it almost sounds like an intellectual argument!
