Wright writes again, popularising in one book much of his academic work over the years on the subject of Jesus’ death, but surprising himself, as he says, with fresh ‘lines of thought and interpretation’ (p.417).
His main task is to present a bigger picture of what Christ’s death accomplished than the one most Christians and puzzled onlookers realise, one that will send even theologians and preachers to look afresh at the Bible texts relating to the atonement.
