Review
Rating: Unrated
I refer to this as ‘Big Red’ not just because of its color. The sheer amount of subjects and material N.T. Wright attempts to cover, plus the fact he’s already known to be a bit long-winded, means there’s a lot ink and paper in this book. Yet there’s another reason I call it ‘Big Red’; it towers above all others in its field. If you’re looking for a solid and thorough foundation to stand on for doing biblical interpretation, there’s not a better place out there. This is the home of his “five-act hermeneutic” and Shakespearian analogy, though the former can be found in a much shorter essay online. If this book doesn’t have enough pages for you, no worries; it’s only the first of six volumes (he’s currently writing the fourth), so that should keep you busy for a while.
