Purchase options and add-ons

Vividly evoking the sights, sounds, and smells of the Holy Land, this book by N. T. Wright is ideal for both individual and group study by any readers who have embarked on the spiritual journey of the Christian life.

Wright explores all the sites that travelers usually visit on a tour of the Holy Land, explaining not only what is to be seen but also the context of faith that makes these sites, and the events associated with them, famous around the world. By weaving together Old and New Testament stories, poetry, and original insights, Wright helps readers enter imaginatively into each scene. He also sprinkles his narratives with reflections on the nature of pilgrimage generally and with discussion of vital contemporary issues related to the Holy Land.

This is a book to be read with Christian pilgrimage in mind, whether one is traveling to the Holy Land physically or merely in heart and mind.

Editorial Reviews

Review

-- Theological Book Review
"Writing with honesty and humility, and a large dose of humanity, Wright constantly manages to look at issues from a different angle. Often his conclusions are shattering. . . . For theologically informed Christian writing that challenges the heart, it cannot get much better than this."

-- Christian Ministry
"Whether or not one is going on a pilgrimage, this book enriches one's journey of faith and faithfulness."

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Trail Guide for the Christian Journey
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2012
Verified Purchase
I am currently preparing to lead a group of high school and college students on a study tour/pilgrimage to Israel. As a Bible college professor, I have easy access to a multitude of resources that provide in-depth study tools for an academic investigation of the Holy Land. This time around, however, I was looking for a resource that would help our students to prepare for this trip spiritually as well as intellectually. While I anticipate that these young men and women will return from Israel with a much greater understanding of the historical, cultural, and geographical context of the biblical text, my prayer is that they will be challenged to move beyond a mere academic study of the word of God in order to encounter the God of the word.

The Way of the Lord is just what the doctor ordered. Anglican bishop N.T. (Tom) Wright actually wrote this book several years ago while preparing to lead a group from his own congregation on a similar pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Drawing on his wealth of experience as both an accomplished theologian and a seasoned pastor, Wright is the consummate scholar-practitioner. In this particular book, he also demonstrates his keen insight into the human soul, serving as a faithful tour guide for his fellow traveling companions on their transformational journey with Jesus.

The Way of the Lord provides a reliable trail map for anyone who is eager to explore the land of the Bible. Don't leave home without it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Verbal Pilgrimmage
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2007
Verified Purchase
Originally intended for those taking a trip to Israel, Tom Wright dramatically and skillfully points out that the true Holy Land is wherever believers are. He points out that a trip to the Holy Land may be of some value but not as a matter of 'earning points' with the Lord. An example of how he relates his "tour" to personal life is when he is talking of visiting Jerusalem. Located at 3000 feet above sea level, It doesn't take much of a journey on either side of Jerusalem to find oneself in a wilderness. Just as one may feel 'on top of the world'

one moment and the next find oneself in a physical or emotional wilderness. We have all been there.

I can't recommend this book highly enough. Once again Tom Wright proves he is one of the top theologians in the world, regardless of denomination or location.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and Moving
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2006
Verified Purchase
This book starts out good and then just gets better and better with each new Pilgrimage. Wright takes the reader on a journey with such descriptive writing that one wonders if his degree is in literature, instead of theology and history. Wright deals with the idea of Pilgimage on the road to Damascus, at the Jordan, in the Wilderness, in Galilee where most of Jesus minsitry took place, in Jerusalem, on the mountain where God is experienced in transfigurative ways, Gethsemene, where the agony of purpose takes place, the Cross (the best chapter), the empty tomb and then reflections on current day Israel. This book will take you away and cause you to feel like you were on the mountain, at the Jordan and was a witness of the cross. Wright's reflections are insightful, powerful and moving. Get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warm, nourishing bread for a spiritual journey
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2011
Verified Purchase
Originally composed as a teaching series and orientation for pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land from Wright's parish in the late Nineties, this short, informal book contains some of the most touching and effective prose Wright has...wrought. The chapters move logically, geographically, and spiritually through a series of sites throughout Israel, and each could be the grist for a wonderful day of prayer and reflection, whether one is physically in the land of Israel, or is on a sojourn of the spirit. The Way of the Lord effectively brings together Wright's great erudition in Biblical history, his vocation as a pastor and curate, and his respectful insights concerning the issues on the ground. This is a fitting handbook for pilgrimage, offering the wisdom and challenge of a powerful mind and the companionate comfort of a warm heart. Highly recommended.

I am about halfway through and really enjoying this. It is about pilgrimage in the holy land, but applies to our walk with the Lord wherever we are. I though that as a theologian he might be too academic or stuffy. He writes in a very warm, and accessible way. Very insightful. Lots to chew on!

I read Tom Wright's book in preparation for a Holy Land pilgrimage through my church and St. George's College in Jerusalem, and the book provided me with a terriic spiriual basis for that trip. The book is both thoughtful and thought provoking. My pilgrimage was all the more meaningful when viewed through the lens of Tom Wright's excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars N.T. Wright, as eloquent as ever
Reviewed in France on April 21, 2022

I came upon this book in one way or another, mere weeks before a trip to the Holy Land. Better timing there couldn’t be. I drank it up and would happily have kept on reading but alas, the end came sooner than I would have liked. I love N.T. Wright and everything he has to say, so I’m admittedly biased. But even with that said, this is a gem of a book for anyone planning to visit the Holy Land, anyone who has already done so, and anyone who feels the call to pilgrimage in their heart. My own visit will certainly be richer and more fulfilling for having read this book.
