# Two New Books by NT Wright

[![The Case for the psalms](https://bookwi.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/41F7Psd4OTL._SY346_PJlook-inside-v2TopRight10_SH20_1.jpg)](http://www.amazon.com/Case-Psalms-Why-They-Essential/dp/0062230506/)I just picked up NT Wright’s new [The Case for the Psalms](http://www.amazon.com/Case-Psalms-Why-They-Essential/dp/0062230506/).  It is a fairly short book about why the Psalms are important to Christian worship and theology.  While the Kindle version has dropped from its initial $12.99 starting price (it is $11.04 right now), it is still cheaper for me to get the audiobook from Audible using my credits.  I think the audiobook was just released last night (or at least that is when I first saw it.)

It is a short book and I am nearly a third of the way through.  So I will have a review of it later this week.

[![Paul and the Faithfulness of God](https://bookwi.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/a26.jpg)](http://www.amazon.com/Paul-Faithfulness-Christian-Origins-Question/dp/0800626834/)John Armstrong posted a link to a [video interview](http://youtu.be/sDHs8S1Se3E) with NT Wright about the book he is releasing in November, [Paul and the Faithfulness of God](http://www.amazon.com/Paul-Faithfulness-Christian-Origins-Question/dp/0800626834/).  The video does not allow embedding, so you need to go to YouTube to watch it.  It is nearly 25 minutes long but it give a good background on why Wright’s worth is so worth paying attention to, even if he does tend toward hyperbole occasionally.

This is a massive two volume set and if Amazon is right it will be coming in at about 1700 pages.  It has an equally impressive price tag.  Amazon has a list price as $89 and their pre-order price for the paperback as $63.56 as of now.  No Kindle Edition is currently available and because it is Fortress Press I am not real hopeful about a Kindle Edition with a reasonable price anytime soon.  This is part of Wright’s Christian Origins and the Question of God Series that includes: [The New Testament and the People of God](http://www.amazon.com/Testament-People-Christian-Origins-Question/dp/0800626818/), [Jesus and the Victory of God](http://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Victory-Christian-Origins-Question/dp/0800626826/) and the [Resurrection of the Son of God](http://www.amazon.com/Resurrection-Christian-Origins-Question-Vol/dp/0800626796/).
