I was searching Tom Wright's website this evening for an update on when volume four in Wright's Christian Origins and the Question of God would be published. It looks like a published date has been set for 2012.But 2011 will still be a busy year for the good scholar-bishop, with several new books being released this year - including a whole translation of the New Testament. Wright's books being released this year include:
- Simply Jesus. London: SPCK.
- The Kingdom New Testament (this was provisionally known as The New Testament for Everyone). London: SPCK. This is Wright's full translation of the NT taken from the various Everyone volumes.
- Revelation for Everyone. London: SPCK.
- Early Christian Letters for Everyone. London: SPCK.
- Scripture and the Authority of God, second edition with two substantial new chapters. London: SPCK.
Now I'm just waiting for Paul and the Faithfulness of God. Bring on 2012!

I'm sure you have loads of the for everyone series, but Fishpond was doing a rather cheap preorder deal for the whole set, due out september or october I think
Its coming out in a few weeks in the Uk..sorry guys!! The title is I'm pretty certain 'The new Testament for everyone'. I think it will be the modern J B Philipps version and for me will likely be far more useful than say the Message!
