Book: N.T. Wright – The Last Word: Beyond the Bible Wars to a New Understanding of the Authority of Scripture

Written in his usual dense-but-readable style, I felt that I’d learned quite a bit, and yet, at the same time, I wonder how much of it has stuck in my mind. This seems to be a book that would be worth reading a second time when I’m not (in part) reading to postpone studying for exams.
yes – i’s amazing how many theology books look really attractive at this time … that is the ones you don’t need to study for the exam this semester!!! … or can just justify because it’s kind of connected!
