Broken Signposts: How Christianity Makes Sense Of The World (Paperback)

Details
N. T. Wright argues that every worldview must explain seven “signposts,” the categories inherent to humanity by which we measure everything else: justice, spirituality, love, beauty, freedom, truth, and power. If we do not live up to their ideals, our societies and individual lives become unbalanced, creating anger, frustration, and division. Using the Gospel of John, Wright shows how Christianity not only conceives of these signposts and how they work together but also why we experience them as “broken” and unattainable.
Wright reveals how the Bible explains why these signposts are fractured and damaged and how Christianity provides the vision, guidance, and hope for making them whole, ultimately healing ourselves and our world. In the end, Wright argues that the Christian faith is not something archaic that needs defending but is a vibrant and coherent vision that makes sense of the world and provides hope and guidance for our future.
