I have started into Wright’s book, Simply Jesus. I have grown to really like his writing and am challenged by his thinking.

To start off this book, it is about recognizing Jesus is in charge.

It was dangerous talk in Jesus’ day. It’s not very welcome in our day, either.

“Our culture has become used to thinking of Jesus as a ‘religious’ figure rather than a ‘political’ one. We have seen those two categories as watertight compartments, to be kept strictly separate. But it wasn’t like that for Jesus and others of his time… What would it look like… if Jesus not only was in charge then, but is in charge today as well?”
