description: New Testament scholar N.T. Wright reveals how we have been misreading the Gospels for centuries powerfully restoring the lost central story of the that the coronation of God through the acts of Jesus was the climax of human history. Wright fills the gaps that centuries of misdirection have opened up in our collective spiritual story tracing a narrative from Eden to Jesus to today. Wrights powerful re-reading of the Gospels helps us re-align the focus of our spiritual beliefs which have for too long been focused on the afterlife. Instead the forgotten story of the Gospels reveals why we should understand that our real charge is to sustain and cooperating with God's kingdom here and now. Echoing the triumphs of Simply Christian and The Meaning of Jesus  Wrights How God Became King is required reading for any Christian searching to understand their mission in the world today.
