520 8  Volume 1: This first volume in the series Christian 
       Origins and the Question of God provides a historical, 
       theological, and literary study of first-century Judaism 
       and Christianity. Wright offers a preliminary discussion 
       of the meaning of the word god within those cultures, as 
       he explores the ways in which developing an understanding 
       of those first-century cultures are of relevance for the 
       modern world. Volume 2: In this highly anticipated volume,
       N.T. Wright focuses directly on the historical Jesus: Who 
       was he? What did he say? And what did he mean by it? 
       Wright begins by showing how the questions posed by Albert
       Schweitzer a century ago remain central today. Then he 
       sketches a profile of Jesus in terms of his prophetic 
       praxis, his subversive stories, the symbols by which he 
       reordered his world, and the answers he gave to the key 
       questions that any world view must address. The 
       examination of Jesus' aims and beliefs, argued on the 
       basis of Jesus' actions and their accompanying riddles, is
       sure to stimulate heated response. Wright offers a 
       provocative portrait of Jesus as Israel's Messiah who 
       would share and bear the fate of the nation and would 
       embody the long-promised return of Israel's God to Zion. 
       Volume 3: Why did Christianity begin, and why did it take 
       the shape it did? To answer this question, which any 
       historian must face, renowned New Testament scholar N.T. 
       Wright focuses on the key question: what precisely 
       happened at Easter? What did the early Christians mean 
       when they said that Jesus of Nazareth had been raised from
       the dead? What can be said today about this belief? This 
       book ... sketches a map of ancient beliefs about life 
       after death, in both the Greco-Roman and Jewish worlds. It
       then highlights the fact that the early Christians' belief
       about the afterlife belonged firmly on the Jewish spectrum,
       while introducing several new mutations and sharper 
       definitions. This, together with other features of early 
       Christianity, forces the historian to read the Easter 
       narratives in the gospels, not simply as late 
       rationalizations of early Christian spirituality, but as 
       accounts of two actual events: the empty tomb of Jesus and
       his 'appearances.' How do we explain these phenomena? The 
       early Christians' answer was that Jesus had indeed been 
       bodily raised from the dead; that was why they hailed him 
       as the messianic 'son of God.' No modern historian has 
       come up with a more convincing explanation. Facing this 
       question, we are confronted to this day with the most 
       central issues of worldview and theology. Volume 4: This 
       highly anticipated two-book ... volume in N.T. Wright's 
       magisterial series ... is destined to become the standard 
       reference point on the subject for all serious students of
       the Bible and theology. The mature summation of a 
       lifetime's study, this landmark book pays a rich tribute 
       to the breadth and depth of the apostle's vision, and 
       offers an unparalleled wealth of detailed insights into 
       his life, times, and enduring impact. Wright carefully 
       explores the whole context of Paul's thought and activity 
       Jewish, Greek and Roman, cultural, philosophical, 
       religious, and imperial and shows how the apostle's 
       worldview and theology enabled him to engage with the many
       -sided complexities of first-century life that his 
       churches were facing. Wright also provides close and 
       illuminating readings of the letters and other primary 
       sources, along with critical insights into the major 
       twists and turns of exegetical and theological debate in 
       the vast secondary literature. The result is a rounded and
       profoundly compelling account of the man who became the 
       world's first, and greatest, Christian theologian."--
