Creation, Power, and Truth: The Gospel in a World of Cultural Confusion

About this audiobook
In Creation, Power and Truth, N. T. Wright invites readers to consider the crucial ways in which the Christian gospel challenges and subverts the intellectual, moral, and political values that pervade contemporary culture.
In doing so, he asks searching questions about three defining characteristics of our time:
- Neo-gnosticism
- Neo-imperialism
- Postmodernity
Employing a robust Trinitarian framework, Wright looks afresh at key elements of the biblical story while drawing out new and unexpected connections between ancient and modern worldviews.
The result is a vigorous critique of common cultural assumptions and controlling narratives, past and present, and a compelling read for all who want to hear, speak, and live the gospel of Christ in a world of cultural confusion.
