How God Became King - 4c Matthew: The Story Reaches Its Goal
How God Became King - 4c Matthew: The Story Reaches Its Goal
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 - 5b The Biblical Story of God
How God Became King - 5b The Biblical Story of God
by SPCK - N T Wright
The Biblical Story of God The story the Bible tells about Israel’s God is quite different from the stories many, including many Christians, have told. In the biblical story, the creator God calls Abraham, who lived in present-day Iraq, and bids him go wandering off as a nomad in …

How God Became King - 8c Power and Empire Within First-Century Judaism
by SPCK - N T Wright
Power and Empire Within First-Century Judaism As we saw earlier, the Judaism of the postexilic period had quite a well-developed narrative of God and empire. Even though many Jews longed for God to become king in the full, complete way he’d promised, they still believed that in t…
How God Became King - 9 The Kingdom and the Cross in Four Dimensions
How God Became King - 9 The Kingdom and the Cross in Four Dimensions
by SPCK - N T Wright
The Kingdom and the Cross in Four Dimensions We come now to the central claim of this book. All four gospels are telling the story of how God became king in and through this story of Jesus of Nazareth. This central theme is stated in a thoroughly integrated way, again in all four…
