Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Tom Wright’s eye-opening comments on these letters are combined, passage by passage, with his new translation of the Bible text. Making use of his true scholar’s understanding, yet writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Wright captures the tension and excitement of the time as the letters seek to assert Paul’s authority and his teaching against other influences.

Top Highlights
“This is the heart of Paul’s argument. One must lose everything, including the memory of who one was before; and one must accept, and learn to live by, a new identity, with a new foundation.” (Page 25)
“Freedom from restraint, if it is to be of any use, must be matched by a sense of freedom for a particular purpose.” (Page 69)
“The point of all of them is that when the spirit is at work they will begin to happen; new motivations will appear.” (Pages 72–73)
“Those who belong to the Messiah are in the Messiah, so that what is true of him is true of them. The roots of this idea are in the Jewish beliefs about the king. The king represents his people (think of David fighting Goliath, representing Israel against the Philistines); what is true of him is true of them.” (Page 25)
“It is, rather, a matter of where your true identity lies, where your deepest motivation comes from, and where the power that rules your life is really found.” (Page 70)

Why do these books cost more here than on kindle or google books. I would love to support this software more but this frustrates me.
