The Jesus of History: An Interfaith study of NT Wright's position:

[Aymn27]

This post is to announce an upcoming group discussion of NT Wright's book: The Challenge of Jesus: Rediscovering Who Jesus Was and Is. This discussion will be hosted in the Anglican Forum and will begin in about two weeks to allow for any who are interested to get the book in hand. Our hope is to move through the book progressively and discuss each chapter or section as we go, but we have not yet set any hard and fast rules. We hope the discussion will be lively and challenging while remaining thoughtful and courteous.

NT Wright, the Anglican Bishop of Durham, is one of the most respected New Testament Scholars and theologians of our day. He tends to come at Jesus from a conservative perspective, as opposed to the "Jesus Seminar" persuasion. This book is described as somewhat of a distillation of his larger, more weighty works which, in the matters of time and expense ($10.88 in the US), is better for a discussion group such as this.

So, if you are interested, please come over to the Anglican forum to find out more about the plans as they come together and get your book ordered! Here is the full information for the book:

The Challenge of Jesus: Rediscovering Who Jesus Was and Is, N.T. Wright, ISBN 0-8308-2200-3, InterVarsity Press, 1999. 197 pages. and here is a link to the Amazon page (US flavor):

And the UK version:

Hope to see you there!"
