Tom Wright - Living faith - exploring the essentials of Christianity

One of my birthday (recently) presents was a box containing Tom Wright’s DVD presentations on the essentials of Christianity (the USA edition) – Living Faith. It’s vintage, absorbing, articulate Tom Wright. It’s one of the best introductions to the Christian faith that I’ve seen – very aware of today’s context and the world(s) within we live out of the Christian story, and within which we communicate the Christian story.

The promotional material says that this is “A DVD-based course that brings Tom Wright directly to you study group. In ten absorbing sessions, one of the world’s foremost theologians helps us explore the essentials of Christianity.”

2 DVDs containing 10 sessions of approx. 30 mins each. Each session begins with a substantial introduction from Tom Wright
