NT Wright's book, Following Jesus, is a collection of biblical reflections on discipleship which includes several of his sermons he delivered as Dean of Lichfield during Lent 1994, between others. The first six chapters provide Wright's insights into the major books of the New Testament, highlighting key themes and connecting passages indicating the importance of Jesus' death and resurrection. The remaining six chapters focus on discipleship and the actions we can take today with an emphasis on living fearlessly in light of Christ's resurrection, on renewing our minds, on recognizing the love as the main weapon against temptation, on recognizing misconceptions about heaven and hell, and being present as “people of the resurrection”. Wright's thesis is described as the question "so what?" in the preface. His thoughts pick up where the New Testament authors left off. In his words: “…the ball is now in your court; the real Jesus calls you to follow him, to a life of discipleship.

Wright is the former Bishop of Durham in the Church of England where he served from 2003 to 2010 before retiring. He is considered a leading New Testament scholar and currently serves as Research Professor of the New Testament and Early Christianity at St. Mary's College, University of St. Andrews in Scotland. According to his biography, Wright was born in Morpeth, Northumberland in 1948 and grew up in the context of middle Anglicanism.

To follow Jesus as his ambassadors, we must radically change course, look beyond our earthly quests for success and power and find our new purpose in the resurrected Christ, our very human and divine companion. As Wright concluded, this is by no means an easy task. Jesus asks us to take up our cross and “invites us to a great act of faith and trust, to look with a clear eye at the moral choices we face and to be willing to say “no,” even if it really hurts , when faced with subtle and powerful temptations… We must live in the present as resurrected people.”
