How God Became King

''It has been slowly dawning on me over many years that there is a fundamental problem deep at the heart of Christian faith and practice as I have known them . . . we have all forgotten what the four Gospels are about.''

With that surprising assertion, Tom Wright launches this ground-breaking work in which he helps us to see the gospel story in radically a new light, and to acknowledge that, for many generations, the Church has been avoiding its full impact and holding back from proclaiming its full meaning.

''Classic Wright: clear, accessible, robust, engaging and challenging.''
Paula Gooder in Third Way

''Scholarly, accessible, insightful and provocative.''
Christianity

''Wright argues compellingly that the twin themes of kingdom and cross are inseparably linked. . . This is a much-needed reorientation. The book makes its case for ''rethinking'' cogently and deserves widespread attention.''
