Wright is an internationally renowned author and scholar, who has taught New Testament studies for twenty years at Cambridge, McGill and Oxford Universities. In his new book, Simply Christian: Why Christianity Makes Sense, Wright walks readers through the Christian faith, step by step and question by question, in a manner reminiscent of C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity. Best-selling novelist Anne Rice has written the highly-acclaimed fictionalized account of Jesus' early life, Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt. Together these two extraordinary writers will explore the mystery of the identity of God and our interconnectedness with Creation. This Forum brings together two contemporary writers who express the transformative potential of a life of faith.
