French description to follow
In this thoughtful follow-up to Simply Christian , today's leading Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and acclaimed author uses the Gospel of John to reveal how Christianity presents a compelling and relevant explanation for our world.
NT Wright argues that every world view must explain seven “signposts,” indicators inherent to humanity: Justice, Spirituality, Relationships, Beauty, Freedom, Truth, and Power.
If we do not live up to these ideals, our societies and individual lives become unbalanced, creating anger and frustration—negative emotions that divide us from ourselves and from God, he contends. Using the Gospel of John as his source, Wright shows how Christianity defines each signpost and illuminates why we so often see them as being "broken" and unattainable.
Drawing on the wisdom of the Gospels, Wright explains why these signposts are fractured and damaged and how Christianity provides the vision, guidance, and hope for making them whole once again, ultimately healing ourselves and our world.

NT Wright argues that any worldview must explain seven “signposts,” indicators inherent to humanity: justice, spirituality, relationships, beauty, freedom, truth, and power.
If we fail to live up to these ideals, our societies and individual lives become unbalanced, creating anger and frustration – negative emotions that alienate us from ourselves and God, he says. Using the Gospel of John as a source, Wright shows how Christianity defines each panel and explains why we so often view them as "broken" and inaccessible.
Drawing on the wisdom of the Gospels, Wright explains why these panels are fractured and damaged and how Christianity provides the vision, guidance and hope to restore them once again, and ultimately heal ourselves and our world .
