Through the Eyes of N.T. Wright: A Reader's Guide to Paul and the Faithfulness of God

The church has received a great gift, a fresh vision of Paulâ€™s theology given to us by N. T. Wright, the preeminent New Testament scholar of our generation. This gift is in the form of a massive two-volume book, the result of forty years of research, writing, and wrestling with central themes of the Christian faith. While Wrightâ€™s book is a gift, it may be a bit daunting for the majority of Christians to read. In this helpful readerâ€™s guide, Derek Vreeland sums up the primary arguments and conclusions from N. T. Wright by creating a readable roadmap to help you navigate through Wrightâ€™s big book on Paulâ€™s theology. Using this readerâ€™s guide prayerfully will open your eyes to see new things in the ancient writings of Paul, things which will cause your faith to grow and the church to be strengthened.

Wright has interpreted Paul for us; let this book sum up Wright for you.

What people are saying about Through the Eyes of N.T. Wright:

â€œN. T. Wright is a rare theologian, whose work must be grappled with seriously. But few pastors have the time or the tools necessary to do so. Yet, relying on video clips or online summaries and critiques simply wonâ€™t do. Derek Vreeland has given us a gift. As a pastor and a scholar, Vreeland has carefully worked his way through Wrightâ€™s magnum opus and synopsized it in a clear and readable way. Employing precise yet jargon-free language, Vreeland has given us a gateway into Wrightâ€™s world, a world where the stunning faithfulness of God is revealed in Jesus Christ.â€
â€” GLENN PACKIAM, Lead Pastor, New Life Downtown, Colorado Springs, Colorado

â€œThe best result of Derek Vreeland's summaries of the magisterial work of N. T. Wright, Paul and the Faithfulness of God, will be when readers read Derek with a view to dipping here and there for long spells in Wright's own book. Wright's book on Paul is very, very long â€” and probably too long for many who most need it â€” but the prose is accessible and the insights remarkable so this summary of Paul and the Faithfulness of God will open up the fullness of this new vision of the apostle Paul. I commend Derek's work because I commend Wright's work.â€
â€” SCOT MCKNIGHT, Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary, Lombard, Illinois

â€œDerek Vreeland has rendered us a great service. N. T. Wright is the most respected New Testament scholar of our era and his work on the theology of Paul could not be more important. But the fact remains that many are not up to the task of wading through 1,700 pages of dense scholarship. Derek Vreeland's reader's guide is an excellent distillation of Paul and the Faithfulness of God and thus a true gift.â€
â€” BRIAN ZAHND, Lead Pastor, Word of Life Church, St. Joseph, Missouri

â€œN. T. Wright's two-volume work on Paul is nothing less than mountainousâ€”hugely formidable and intimidating. So, even those already familiar with Wrightian terrain can be glad for a guide, especially one as capable as Derek Vreeland. In this introduction, Vreeland thankfully does not restate Wright in simpler, briefer terms; instead, he identifies decisive concepts and themes and explains in his own words their significance for Wright's larger project. The result is a work that not only provides access to the height, depth, and width of Wright's work on Paul, but also draws us into fresh engagements with the sacred Scriptures themselves.â€
â€” CHRIS GREEN, Assistant Professor of Theology, Pentecostal Seminary, Cleveland, Tennessee

â€œI often ask my friends what theologians will be remembered, 500 years from now, as the dominant voices of our era. I am convinced that N. T. Wright will stand at the top of that list. Whether you agree with him, or disagree, his influence is difficult to challenge. In this concise book, my friend Derek Vreeland has provided a genuine resource to help todayâ€™s church parse the words and theology of Wright..."
