The Bishop of Durham and the Bible

Dr. Wright’s aim is to get people to ‘look up once more and this time with fresh eyes’. This he manages to do most admirably. The book does not directly address the issues of inerrancy and infallibility, which are crucial, but within its own terms is extremely helpful.

‘Writing a book about the Bible is like building a sandcastle in front of the Matterhorn. The best you can hope to do is to catch the eye of those who are looking down instead of up, or those who are so familiar with the skyline that they have stopped noticing its peculiar beauty.’ So begins Tom Wright in the preface to his latest book.
