Synopsis

In the midst of life's challenges, so often our faith feels small and weak. In this book one of the world's premier Bible teachers, N. T. Wright, reminds us that what matters is not so much our faith itself as Who our faith is in. Faith, says Wright, is like a window. The point is not for part of the wall to be made of glass. The point of a window is to allow us to see through it--and let light into the room! Faith allows us to see our situation and our own weakness in light of God who is powerful, holy and loving. Wright also looks at the character of the faith God calls us to. He unfolds how dependence, humility and mystery all have a role to play. God beckons us to lean on him as we seek to be constructive citizens of the world, to speak truth in love without hypocrisy and to risk submitting to one another in love. Wright doesn't ignore the messiness and difficulties of life, when hard times come and the unexpected knocks us down. He opens to us what faith means in times of trial and even in the face of death. Through it all he reminds us, it's not great faith we need: it is faith in a great God.

Goodreads review by Frank on November 19, 2016

This was the most accessible book by NT Wright that I have yet read. Since the book was formed from the written versions of talks given by the author this is even more reasonable (as the authors talks are much more gentle than his typical books). The chapters are arranged as essays in the book and a......more

Goodreads review by Peter on April 28, 2013

This is a great collection of sermon's that Wright gave many years ago, when he was still quite young. The second edition was published 2010, but I don't think much has changed at all. The chapters are very short (ca. 8 small pages), and the book itself is a very quick read if you want to read it str......more

Goodreads review by Nancy on October 29, 2023

One of Wright’s shorter books, but still so potent—we can’t be reminded too often that it is our “great God” who is the major part of our journey. Faith is necessary, but even a very small faith in our great God is what gives us true life.......more

This collection of essays explores the theme set out in the title: While our faith may be small, the God we have faith in is great.......more
