[Ethan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I see we’ve dropped the whole “Tom Wright” thing and have just kept his name consistent across the introductory and more scholarly works, which is well and good. Wright’s contributions to the New Testament For Everyone series are consistently fantastic. He opens up each section of the Gospel with some little vignette which might illustrate something within the Gospel, its application, or common life today; he then provides a high quality contextual interpretation of the passage in a very understandable way; and he provides appropriate questions and/or applications for modern readers to consider. I always recommend at least considering what Wright has to say and how he frames it; he really connects the text to people today quite well.
