N.T. Wright's book is often likened to C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity," and I would agree with that summation. Both books seek to describe the basis of the Christian religion, not seeking to present right doctrine or right theology, but instead to describe Christianity. Wright's work is not only enjoyable to read, but he truly expands the reader's knowledge of the Christian faith. I come away from this book with a new appreciation for what being a "Christian" is all about, for it is not about "being" anything, but instead is simply living. I truly found myself learning, growing, and enjoying this simplistic writing of the faith I so love. Wright has mastered the basis of Christianity in a way which is unmatched, in my short experience, since C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity."
