Publisher's Summary
Bishop, Bible scholar, and best-selling author N. T. Wright here provides a series of case studies on how to apply the Bible to the pressing issues of today. Among the topics Wright addresses are the intersection of religion and science, why women should be allowed to be ordained, what we get wrong and how we can do better when Christians engage in politics, why the Christian belief in heaven means we should be at the forefront of the environmental movement, and many more.
Wright fearlessly wades through the difficult issues facing us. Listeners will find new models for understanding how to affirm the Bible in today's world as well as encouragement and renewed energy for deepening our faith and engaging with the culture around us.

A collection of essays
Some good thoughts, though a little provocative at times.

1 Preface
2 Healing the Divide Between Science and Religion
3 Do We Need a Historical Adam?
4 Can a Scientist Believe in the Resurrection?
5 The Biblical Case for Ordaining Women
6 Jesus Is Coming–Plant a Tree
7 9/11 Tsunamis and the New Problem of Evil
8 How the Bible Reads the Modern World
8 Idolatry 2.0
9 Our Politics Are Too Small
10 How to Engage Tomorrows World
11 Apocalypse and the Beauty of God
12 Becoming People of Hope
