BROKEN SIGNPOSTS

In this thoughtful follow-up to Simply Christian today’s leading Bible scholar Anglican bishop and acclaimed author uses the Gospel of John to reveal how Christianity presents a compelling and relevant explanation for our world.. N. T. Wright argues that every world view must explain seven “signposts” indicators inherent to humanity: Justice Spirituality Relationships Beauty Freedom Truth and Power. If we do not live up to these ideals our societies and individual lives become unbalanced creating anger and frustration—negative emotions that divide us from ourselves and from God he contends. Using the Gospel of John as his source Wright shows how Christianity defines each signpost and illuminates why we so often see them as being broken and unattainable. Drawing on the wisdom of the Gospels Wright explains why these signposts are fractured and damaged and how Christianity provides the vision guidance and hope for making them whole once again ultimately healing ourselves and our world.
