In this thoughtful follow-up to Simply Christian, today’s leading Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and acclaimed author uses the Gospel of John to reveal how Christianity presents a compelling and relevant explanation for our world.

N. T. Wright argues that every world view must explain seven “signposts,” indicators inherent to humanity: Justice, Spirituality, Relationships, Beauty, Freedom, Truth, and Power.

If we do not live up to these ideals, our societies and individual lives become unbalanced, creating anger and frustration—negative emotions that divide us from ourselves and from God, he contends. Using the Gospel of John as his source, Wright shows how Christianity defines each signpost and illuminates why we so often see them as being ""broken"" and unattainable.

Drawing on the wisdom of the Gospels, Wright explains why these signposts are fractured and damaged and how Christianity provides the vision, guidance, and hope for making them whole once again, ultimately healing ourselves and our world.

I’ve been reading N.T. Wright for 20 years. I’m a minister and he’s had a tremendous influence on my thinking and preaching of the Gospel, second only to C.S. Lewis. This is my favorite book of Wright’s so far because it so artfully captures and explains Christ’s unique and comprehensive meeting of primary, deep and relentless human yearnings. Wright ties them to the Gospel of John, and through it to their roots in the larger narratives of scripture. Brilliant!

Loved it! I found this book thought provoking an interesting. I will probably read it again! Rooted in the Gospel of John but not like a textbook. One might call it a recalibration of some basics that everyone ought to be familiar with, but not many are.

Clear and Helpful

I use the word "refreshing", because N. T. Wright provides a framework for making sense of how the Good News of Jesus functions in a world full of bad news- and how Jesus leads the way into the new creation of which all who follow Jesus are a part. I highly recommend Broken Signposts.

Refreshing

I always find Wright a bit chewy and worth the labor to fully understand. This is one of his more coherent messages for me. I would suggest starting at the brief conclusion chapter first before returning to the beginning. It’s a clear and compelling summary of his framework for the book. I wish I had started there.

Start with conclusion chapter.
