Twenty years on from its original appearance, this ground-breaking first volume in N. T. Wright's magisterial series, 'Christian Origins and the Question of God', still stands as a major point of reference for students of the New Testament and early Christianity. This latest impression has been completely reset to make Wright's elegant and engrossing text more readable. 'The sweep of Wright's project as a whole is breathtaking. It is impossible to give a fair assessment of his achievement without sounding grandiose: no New Testament scholar since Bultmann has even attempted - let alone achieved - such an innovative and comprehensive account of New Testament history and theology.' Richard B. Hays

In this volume Wright trains a penetrating historical and theological spotlight on first-century Palestinian Judaism

'It is difficult to know which feature of it is to be admired the most: the immense erudition - the lively examples - the integration of so many different approaches and disciplines - the easy intelligibility of the writing - the lucid ordering of the argument.' The Expository Times
