"The Resurrection" is very good. I found it helpful.

In terms of understanding modern theology, the three books are indispensable. As many note, Wright should be commended for affirming (and at times, affirming very well) certain Christian truth: mainly, the Resurrection. However, in these three books in particular, his understanding of both the nature and method of theology are so diametrically opposed to Reformed teaching that they can contribute very little positive for us. The groundwork for his theological vision (the *what* and the *how* of theology) is set forth in the first volume, and the practical ramifications of this are most clearly seen in the second volume.
