THE RESURRECTION OF THE SON OF GOD
By N.T. Wright
SPCK. 817 pages. £35.00 (pb)
ISBN 0 281 05550 5

It is not often that one is privileged to review a masterpiece, but that is precisely what Tom Wright's latest volume in his major theological project, 'Christian origin's and the question of God', is.

What was originally to form the final section of 'Jesus and the Victory of God' has turned into a major study in its own right. Tom Wright presents this work as a 'weed clearing exercise', digging deep to uncover the roots of the smothering weeds which have grown up in the theological garden of academia regarding the resurrection of Jesus. He particularly has in his sights the widely accepted view in New Testament scholarship that the earliest Christians did not think of Jesus as having been raised bodily from the dead, with the tendency to cite Paul as the chief witness for a more 'spiritual' view point.
