Small Faith, Great God

by N. T. Wright Narrated by James Adams

Overview

In the midst of life's challenges, so often our faith feels small and weak. In this book one of the world's premier Bible teachers, N. T. Wright, reminds us that what matters is not so much our faith itself as Who our faith is in. Faith, says Wright, is like a window. The point is not for part of the wall to be made of glass. The point of a window is to allow us to see through it--and let light into the room! Faith allows us to see our situation and our own weakness in light of God who is powerful, holy and loving. Wright also looks at the character of the faith God calls us to. He unfolds how dependence, humility and mystery all have a role to play. God beckons us to lean on him as we seek to be constructive citizens of the world, to speak truth in love without hypocrisy and to risk submitting to one another in love. Wright doesn't ignore the messiness and difficulties of life, when hard times come and the unexpected knocks us down. He opens to us what faith means in times of trial and even in the face of death. Through it all he reminds us, it's not great faith we need: it is faith in a great God.

Editorial Reviews

OCTOBER 2011 - AudioFile

N.T. Wright’s latest work is an excellent academic resource that offers a wonderful history of how the Bible has been understood by the church. Still, the author uses this as a platform to push his own controversial views. James Adams reads in the way one would expect of an academic work—dryly. It’s difficult to inject personality into a topic like this, but Adams does his best. Those who enjoy theological discussion will enjoy this production. However, this work would be best owned in print so the reader can take notes and look up resources as they are encountered. T.D. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
