"Simply Christian goes beyond C. S. Lewis's great classic Mere Christianity...N. T. Wright is simply crucial; his writing can transform one's life. This will become a classic"--Anne Rice
In this plainspoken but substantial book, beloved and renowned Christian scholar and Anglican bishop N. T. Wright describes the essence of Christianity and why people believe in, and follow, it today. Like C. S. Lewis accomplished in his classic Mere Christianity, Wright makes the case for Christian faith from the ground up, assuming that the reader is starting from ground zero with no predisposition to and perhaps even some negativity toward religion in general and Christianity in particular. He describes Christianity simply and accessibly, exploring how the basic human impulses toward fulfillment, meaning, and order lead in due course to God, and to Christian revelation as satisfying the most fundamental and primal human aspirations.
