Luke for Everyone

As I read through Tom Wright’s excellent series I find myself wondering if he wrote them in the same order as they appear in our Bibles? Certainly, as I’ve progressed through the Gospels, I’ve noticed his writing becoming tighter and a little more polished. I can better see the themes and ideas being developed from one chapter to the next and the books seem to hold together better. Of course, this might say more about me as a reader than it does about Mr Wright’s writing. You don’t have to think hard before deciding which of us is more expert at our craft! I’m really enjoying working my way through the series. I’m reading the first part of John now and have Acts still to come. I’d rather planned to stop there and just read the others as an when I happened upon them but I’m thinking I might go on through the Epistles and on the Revelation. And, of course, there’s an Old Testament series now as well …
