God in Public: How the Bible Speaks Truth to Power Today

By N. T. Wright and N.T. Wright

Book Overview

Drawing on a collection of lectures that N. T. Wright delivered from 1999 to 2015, God in Public brings together the message of Jesus--in its larger biblical context--and the challenges of the contemporary public and political worlds.
