Scripture and the Authority of God

Short review: This is the best theology book I have read this year. What I appreciate about Wright is that he is not just an academic, he is a pastor. You can tell from his writing that his real interest is in serving the church. This is a re-working of his 2005 book “The Last Word”. The main text is not supposed to be much different from The Last Word, but Wright added two chapters at the end to help illustrate how we should work our in real life a scriptural issue. The two chapters are about the Sabbath and Monogamy vs Polygamy in marriage. These are not pressing controversial issues for most people so I think he does a good job of helping people really think through how to read scripture and how to understand the whole of scripture.
