Another great addition in the series. These books would work great as a devotional as you make your way through the NT. It includes Wrights own translation and brief commentary of each section. Very manageable to read daily alongside a bible reading plan.
I'm enjoying Wrights (not so?) unique theology starting to come through in the epistles, he is very good at explaining his points and all seem good to me so far.
