Description
'Fresh, insightful and accessible.. . . An excellent resource.' - The Reader If the gospel cannot be understood by everyone, then it is not good news.

This newly typeset edition of Tom Wright's hugely popular English Bible translation features light revisions throughout the text, along with brief introductions to each biblical book, a range of informative maps and a substantial glossary of key words. Fresh, dynamic and absorbing, Tom Wright's New Testament for Everyone can be read like a novel, studied in sections or used as a daily resource for reflection and devotion.
Third edition of Tom Wright's hugely popular translation of the New Testament, including introductions to each book, over 40 maps, and a helpful glossary of keywords and phrases.
