Simply Good News: Why the Gospel Is News and What Makes It Good

The bishop, Bible scholar, modern heir to C. S. Lewis, and revered author of Simply Christian and Simply Jesus offers a fresh look at the Gospel, explaining why Jesusâ‚¬ message is â‚¬Å“good newsâ‚¬Â and why it is more timely and transforming today than we know.
The Gospel means good news. But if the message has been around for 2,000 years, what makes it significant today? Whatâ‚¬s so â‚¬Å“goodâ‚¬Â about stories involving damnation, violence, and a God who sacrifices his only son?
Noted Bible scholar N.T. Wright shows us how Christians today have lost sight of what the â‚¬Å“good newsâ‚¬Â of the gospel really is. In Simply Good News, he takes us back in time to reveal how the people of the first-centuryâ‚¬"the gospelâ‚¬s original audienceâ‚¬"would have received Jesusâ‚¬ message. He offer a clear and thoughtful analysis of what the â‚¬Å“good newsâ‚¬Â really is, and applies it to our lives today, revealing its power to transform us.
