The Revd Stephen Kuhrt is Vicar of Christ Church, New Malden and Administrative Secretary of Fulcrum.

Tom Wright for Everyone addresses the reticence of many evangelicals to engage with what Tom Wright has been saying for some time. The book looks at key theological questions awaiting an answer and gives an enlightening summary of the theology of Tom Wright, arranged around terms like 'Covenant' 'Heaven' 'Kingdom' 'The resurrection of Jesus' and 'justification' Then, in perhaps the most valuable part of the book, Stephen Kuhrt describes in detail the difference putting Tom Wright's theology into practice has made in his own parish church, pastorally and in terms of mission. The book ends with a clear statement of Tom Wright's challenge to the Church in the second decade of the twenty-first century.

Addresses the difficulty many evangelicals have found in really engaging with what Tom Wright has been saying for some time now, then seeks to explain what difference his theology can make when an attempt is made to put it into practice in church life.

Tom Wright for Everyone addresses the reticence of many evangelicals to engage with what Tom Wright has been saying for some time. The book looks at key theological questions awaiting an answer and gives an enlightening summary of the theology of Tom Wright, arranged around terms like 'Covenant', 'Heaven', 'Kingdom', 'The resurrection of Jesus', and 'justification'. Then, in perhaps the most valuable part of the book, Stephen Kuhrt describes in detail the difference putting Tom Wright's theology into practice has made in his own parish church, pastorally and in terms of mission. The book ends with a clear statement of Tom Wright's challenge to the Church in the second decade of the twenty-first century.

The Good Book Stall

Kuhrt writes “The theology of Tom Wright has, therefore, emerged at a really vital moment for the Church, and yet.....for the sake of the worship, mission and unity of the Church in the twenty-first century, it is vital that this proper engagement occurs.” In this helpful title Anglican Vicar, Stephen Kuhrt offers a robust and unique engagement with the work of N.T. Wright, with a foundation concern about how many within the church have not fully engaged with the perspectives and challenge he brings.   
 The book is constructed in two main parts – the first section gives an introduction and summary of major themes in Wright’s theology. The second section focuses on how Wright’s theology might be applied in a local context and this integration is the core strength of the book and the reason why so many people will find it helpful. It is readable, enjoyable, and helpful with the 34-page summary of Tom Wright's theology being particularly potent. The closing call, to resist fear and make the engagement that is necessary for this theology to have a real and telling impact in our local communities, is compelling. Deep, warm and applicable!
