Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great devotional reading from a great scholar
Review: As an admirer of Mr. Wright's more academic writings, it is hard for me to believe that he is also so good at devotional writing. This volume, like the rest in the series, contains a frsh new translation from the Greek, along with a short (3-4 page) devotional with each section. The translations seem very good to me in terms of putting the author's meaning across in contemporary English. He does take some liberties, preferring to get the general sense/feeling of the text right rather than necessarily sticking with strict word order and close translation (like the NASB does). To make up for this the comments on the sections often highlight some of the translation issues.

I found not only the translations, but also the devotionals quite inspiring. Wright's church leadership background shows to good effect throughout. I'd love to read it again soon to let some of his insights soak in a bit more.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A good daily devotional, but not an exhaustive study
Review: This book is much easier to digest on the first reading than many of Wright's other works, although a bit less rewarding. The book is structured so that small sections of the gospel text are translated by Wright and followed by his mini exegesis.

I found the book to be thought provoking and not as weighty as one might expect. This is refreshing after reading NTPG and JVG, Luke For Everyone is a layman's version of these two.
