I take issue with Wright and his interpretation, very shallow and not much depth or understanding of Christianity.

Wright says:

"Or consider the modern Sunday School song “Jesus Loves the Little Children.” (“Red and yellow, black and white, / They are precious in his sight.”) Actually, there is no evidence that he loved all of them; if you went back and sang this to the Jesus of the Gospels, he would think you were mad. But in the minds of many of his followers today, this kind of global love is what Christianity means. That certainly looks like moral progress."

I take issue with the foregoing. There is overwhelming evidence in the scriptures that He did indeed, love all of them. His ministry was based on "love", as he proclaimed "love" to be the greatest commandment. If He had the capcity to love His enemies, how much more did He love the innocent children of every race? Wright simply hasn't the faintest idea about what he is talking about.

I'm not promoting Christianity, just pointing out Wright's ignorance of Christianity and his book's misguided interpretation of Christianity.
