Ensor .

This book does not disappoint. Tom Wright's work is accessible and easy to read. I have found this book really helpful and spiritually refreshing. I would recommend this commentary. Unlike other commentaries I have read I'm learning something when I read about the context and meaning of scripture. I will look forward to buying more of these to help me in my spiritual growth.

Brilliant book
