"Most readers of the New Testament have grown overly familiar with the biblical text, losing sight of the wonder and breadth of its innovative ideas and world-changing teachings about the life and role of Jesus of Nazareth. N.T. Wright invigorates these sacred texts with an all-new English translation that allows contemporary readers to encounter these historic works afresh. The original Greek text is vibrant, alive, and active, and Wright's translation retains that spirit by providing a new English text for the 21st-century reader. At the same time, based on his work as a pioneering interpreter of the Bible, Wright also corrects other translations so as to provide more accurate representations of the original writers' intent. His new translation includes: consistent use of gender-neutral language, a more 'popular-level' language matching character of original Greek, the vibrancy and urgency of the original works"--
