N.T. Wright’s Simply Good News is discussed in a CT article by Andrew Wilson called The Greatest Hits of N.T. Wright.
He gives a good review of the book which confirms my own impression that Simply Good News is a summary of several of Wright’s earlier books, even so, the last two chapters are still worth reading!
Simply Good News may feel like a compilation album, better suited to newcomers than to those who have read Wright before. Depending on your tastes, then, it may prove slightly disappointing. But even if the book is not his most original contribution, it remains the work of an undoubtedly brilliant artist, one worth listening to on virtually anything. And, like many compilation albums, it is somewhat redeemed by the two bonus tracks at the end.
