Status Updates From Jesus and the Victory of Go...

Just finished a discussion about the significance of the Temple and Jesus actions toward the arrangement to convert money and sell sacrifice animals within the outer court. Quite thorough and well woven discussions. And quite readable. Agree or no, Wright can state his case thoroughly.

Tough section to wade through, but not impossible. Full argument mode executed. He's satisfied that he has made the case. I'm pretty convinced, too. For whatever that's worth. It makes sense connecting the dots. More so than anything else I've read, at least.

There's enough in any one of the chapters of this book to keep me busy,p but this last one could rearrange my ideas of who Jesus was and what were his aims. The neat little phrases we learned in sunday school don't cover the topic at all. Prepare to have a brain cramp or two. Just the reading and study Wright has done for this is staggering. And it's still acessible and engaging. Onward!

Forgot to update this. A re-read from a while ago. Accessible to non academics, but not dumbed down. Explains what he wants to demonstrate, how he's going to do it, why and defines terms along the way. He also delves into views unlike his and explains his position in relation to them. For me, it's like listening to him teach directly. And it all makes sense. Just a pleasure to read.
