Simply Christian Lectures (N.T. Wright)

Below is the first of seven lectures related to N.T. Wright’s book, Simply Christian. I would recommend that those who have time to do so should both listen to the lectures and read the book. (In the book) Wright sets out on a course to describe what Christianity is all about for both the initiated and those who stand outside the faith by use of a three-fold structure: echoes of a voice (facets of human existence that point outside or beyond themselves, presumably toward the Creator), identifying the central Christian belief about God, and an examination of the practice of following Jesus (what the church is there for). He presents these in both an accessible and stimulating manner that I am sure will be most welcome by a wide audience of readers/hearers.
