Sam's review
Simply Christian: Why Christianity Makes Sense by N.T. Wright
Read this for my theology book group, and there were moments I really enjoyed it. Generally, however, I didn't. The subtitle: "Why Christianity Makes Sense" is like saying "why chocolate makes sense". Plenty of people like it, some loathe, and many are indiffernt. He bases much of his argument on why its 'better' than other faiths, while giving tacit respect to Islam and Judaism. I just never got the sense that he knew where he was going with his argument, despite moments of wonderful writing and clever metaphor.
And then there was the quick swipe at homosexuals and sexual morality in the last few pages...This is going to filed in the "irritated I own" part of my library.
