Summary:
The book explores the central message of the four Gospels, arguing that modern Christianity has neglected the core story of Jesus Christ's kingship and the establishment of God's kingdom on Earth. It emphasizes the political and historical context of Jesus' mission, aiming to reconcile the seeming contradictions between the Gospels and traditional Christian doctrine.
Key points:
1. Overlooked Gospel Message: Wright believes the Gospels' main message, God becoming king on earth through Jesus, is often missed by the modern church.
