John The People's Commentary - Belief, Blindness and Fear
by BRF - Richard A. Burridge

by SPCK - N T Wright
Matthew: The Story Reaches Its Goal The most obvious place to begin is right at the beginning – with the genealogy with which Matthew opens his book. Most of us, I suspect, probably skip this when we decide to read the New Testament right through for ourselves…

How God Became King - 5e Glory Unveiled: John’s Temple Christology
by SPCK - N T Wright
Glory Unveiled: John’s Temple Christology ‘The Word was God… and the Word became flesh.’ John’s cards are on the table from the beginning. For him, the story of Jesus is the story of how God became human, how the creator became part of his creation…
