The Marriage of Heaven and Earth

The Marriage of Heaven and Earth - Marlin Watling

'This is really an astonishing compilation.'
- N.T. Wright, Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, St. Andrews University


'This is a very clever and useful introduction into the encyclopedic mind of the most prolific New Testament scholars of our generation. Tom Wright's thinking is a gift to those of us who seek to further understand the church in mission, discipleship in the way of Jesus, and life in the Kingdom of God. Marlin's book is a needed distillation of his key ideas. A good read.'
- Alan Hirsch, Author, Thought Leader, Activist, alanhirsch.org


'The Lord Jesus had the amazing ability to make the complex simple... In this book Marlin Watling does the same - to interpret the theological reflection of one of the world's greatest theologians, NT Wright. Now, Tom Wright's work can be read and understood by us all. And that is a great gift to every student of theology, Christian minister and interested lay man and woman.'
- Mike Breen, Founder of 3DM Movements


'Marlin Watling captures complex ideas in cheeky drawings that are counter-intuitive and, frankly, dazzling...  The result is convincing, enlightening and educational: it is impossible to read this book and not be better informed of the shape of N T Wright's thinking.'
- Gerard Kelly, Director of The Bless Network and author of The Seven Stories that Shape Your Life 


'A very valuable summary of N.T. Wright's books put in a very readable and easy to understand format. I recommend this to any one as a helpful guide to a variety of important themes in scripture... Great book.'
- Barry Wissler, President, HarvestNet International


'Marlin Watling provides wonderful visual echoes helping people 'see' the sometimes complex explanations of Prof. N.T. Wright. ... Marlin has provided a very good guide to Tom Wright's basic lines of thinking about the world, the Bible, and about God's ways of working out the reconciling of all things to himself.' 
- David P. Seemuth, Ph.D., N.T. Wright Online


'What an amazing distillation of NT Wright's spiritual insights in a very readable format. Watling uses pictograms to help all of us, especially the rising generation, grasp these deep spiritual truths as expounded on by Wright in his many books. Use this simple and yet comprehensive primer for Bible studies, small group discussion and discipleship groups.'
