A series of guides to the books of the New Testament suitable for personal or group use.

Each short passage has its own translation of the Bible and is followed by a highly readable discussion, with background information making it appropriate for daily study also.

Making use of his true scholar's understanding, yet writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Wright shows us the liveliness of cosmopolitan Corinth, and reveals the wisdom and challenge of Pauls writing, bringing out the pastoral sensitivity and deep insight that make this letter one of Paul's crowning achievements.

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 explanation and suggestion, and thoughts as to how it can be relevant to our lives today. No knowledge of techincal jargon is required.

The series is suitable for personal or group use and the format makes it appropriate also for daily study.
