How God Became King

Great video intro and interview on Tom Wright's recent work on the Gospel story and God's kingship, How God Became King. Salient points:

  • Each generation has to learn how to articulate the  Gospel story
  • Gospels reveal a narrative strategy
  • "Theme" of the gospels is God becoming King

I haven't read the book yet, but plan to and it's that third point in particular that I'm most interested in, to see how he teases it out and how he connects it to the Old Testament, which had such a robust view of the King and Kingdom.

Please...drop your thoughts in the comments section!
