Simply Christian: Why Christianity
Makes Sense by N.T. Wright
A Must Read
Why do we expect justice? Why do we crave spirituality? Why are we
attracted to beauty? Why are relationships often so painful? And how will
the world be made right? These are not simply perennial questions all
generations must struggle with, but, according to N. T. Wright, are the very
echoes of a voice we dimly perceive but deeply long to hear. In fact, these
questions take us to the heart of who God is and what He wants from us.
For two thousand years, Christianity has claimed to solve these mysteries,
and this renowned biblical scholar and Anglican bishop shows that it still
can today. Not since C. S. Lewiss classic summary of the faith, Mere
Christianity, has such a wise and thorough scholar taken the time to
explain to anyone who wants to know what Christianity really is and how it
is practiced. Wright makes the case for Christian faith from the ground up,
assuming that the reader has no knowledge of (and perhaps even some
aversion to) religion in general and Christianity in particular.

Simply Christian walks the reader through the Christian faith step by step
and question by question. With simple yet exciting and accessible prose,
Wright challenges skeptics by offering explanations for even the toughest
doubt-filled dilemmas, leaving believers with a reason for renewed faith.
For anyone who wants to travel beyond the controversies that can obscure
what the Christian faith really stands for, this simple book is the perfect
vehicle for that journey.
Personal Review: Simply Christian: Why Christianity Makes
Sense by N.T. Wright
In Simply Christian, N.T. Wright sets out to help us understand why
Christianity makes sense. In all honesty, I did not need to read this book to
understand why Christianity makes sense, because I already thought it did.
So, as I read, I tried to read it from a new perspective - as someone who
was looking for answers to some of life's greatest questions. And I think I
found some really good answers within these pages.
As I read through the book, I was pleased to discover that Wright is not
trying to belittle any reader. He writes with passion and clarity, but never
with arrogance. In the beginning of the book, Wrights talks about this echo
of a voice we hear. He then spends the remainder of the book helping the
reader discover who the voice belongs to: God. Our longing for justice,
beauty and relationships are all indicators that we want the same things
God wants - and Christianity is the one logical explanation for answering
these longings.
Unless you are N.T. Wright (and if you are, thanks for reading this review),
you will find yourself questioning and arguing with some of the contents of
Simply Christian. As you are disagreeing, you will be challenged to dig into
the Scriptures for more evidence, because Wright does not just offer his
own ideas - he uses Scripture to support what is written. Whether you are
using this book for your own personal growth or for helping a friend
understand Christianity better, you will want to keep this in mind: "Faith
can't be forced, but unfaith can be challenged."
I highly recommend Simply Christian to anyone looking to deepen their
faith in God. Because when you close the last page of this book, you will
have a deeper understanding of Christianity and why it makes sense.
