Wright's book is very well-written, but he makes two very serious mistakes that ultimately sink it.
First, he confuses Christianity with church membership. Membership, or even attendance, is not the same as really believing. Most pastors will tell you that in a given congregation. There are a few who are serious about their faith. Those are the Christians.
Second, Wright doesn't seem to recognize that people do lie. He gives a long and very logical argument as to why lyyinconfers no advantage in this case, but he ignores the fact that people lie anyway. People love to lie. It's in our nature.
I had high hopes for this book, but it was just an argument for the status quo. For that reason, I can't recommend it,
