Christian scholar Wright (Bishop of Durham, U.K.; "What Saint Paul Really Said") here argues that all humans have a deep desire for justice, spirituality, relationships, and beauty, yet few have experienced fulfillment of these desires. According to Wright, these desires are echoes of a God who can provide for and fulfill them. He shows how the God of Christianity can bring real justice, true spirituality, genuine relationships, and awesome beauty by answering simply yet profoundly most of the key questions associated with Christian systematic theology, e.g., -Was Jesus God?, - -What is the Bible?, - and -What is Church for?. - These are weighty, deeply theological questions indeed, questions about which entire books have been written, and Wright has an uncanny knack not only for answering them but also for doing so in an inspiring and introspective manner. What -s more, he provides complete answers, a challenging task for a work of this length. Wright accomplishes exactly what the title of his book suggests: he presents Christianity as the straightforward and uncomplicated answer to so many of life -s most complex and difficult problems. Highly recommended for all libraries." -Wesley A. Mills, Empire State Coll., Rochester, NY"Copyright 2006 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
