Tom Wright’s eye-opening comments on these letters are combined, passage by passage, with his new translation of the Bible text. Making use of his true scholar’s understanding, yet writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Wright captures the tension and excitement of the time as the letters seek to assert Paul’s authority and his teaching against other influences.

ABOUT THE SERIES: …for EVERYONE. A major new series of guides to the books of the New Testament. Tom Wright has undertaken a tremendous task: to provide guides to all the books of the New Testament, and to furnish them with his own fresh translation of the entire text.

Each short passage is followed by a highly readable discussion, with background information, useful interpretation and explanation, and thoughts as to how it can be relevant to our lives today. No knowledge of technical jargon is required. The series is suitable for personal or group use. The format makes it appropriate also for daily study.

‘This enterprise is probably the most exciting thing to have happened in Christian education in Britain for many years.’ Expository Times

‘Wright writes wonderfully, accessibly and as smooth as fine chocolate.’ Ship of Fools website
