How God Became King

If you have a free hour, I would highly recommend you watch this lecture given by N. T. Wright at Calvin College (view here).  If you want to understand the theology of the gospel accounts better, then you definitely need to watch this.  There is more going on in the story than just Jesus' birth and death.  What about all that is written in between?

Wright has also just published a book w/ the same title, How God Became King.  I can't wait to read this book over the summer (when I can buy it).
