This thesis is to study the interpretation of the Synoptic Gospels by Nicholas Thomas Wright, who currently has profound influence on the theological world, to reveal the problems of his interpretation. In addition, it is the purpose of this paper to present a correct alternative interpretation. He saw the Gospels as a biography of Jesus, a non-resistance revolutionary who came to build the kingdom of God in Israel. The blood Jesus shed from the cross is not the blood of atonement. The cross of Jesus is the place where the “kingdom” is formed by causing a revolution of love through suffering. Wright's view of the kingdom of God in the synoptic gospels, is not a place Christians go after they die, it’s a place where God’s kingship and reign is affective in the current world. Therefore, the coming of the kingdom of God that Jesus proclaims in the Gospels is not a matter of eternal truth, doctrine, or soteriology.

Ignoring the diversity of each of the synoptic Gospels, Wright emphasizes only their unified collective message. This message that Wright emphasizes also goes beyond the traditional and evangelical message, asserts that in the Synoptic Gospels, Jesus traveled to various places in Israel to proclaim the kingdom of God, using political methods as a revolutionary to gather his supporters. As Wright points out, it is true that aspects of the kingdom of God that is here and now are clearly revealed in the synoptic gospels, but if only this point is emphasized, texts that point to the eternal aspects of the kingdom or its eternal nature is overlooked. Wright's interpretation can also cause fatal harm to readers, especially believers, as the synoptic gospels presents one image of Jesus from Wright’s own theological point of view, which can be more dogmatic rather being thoroughly Christological. To evaluate Wright’s discussions, methods of editorial criticism, literary-structural criticism, and form criticism will be used. These methods are thought to be most objective in revealing the meaning of the text and in deriving its theology. This study aims to contribute to the development of biblical-interpretation by providing a correct evaluation of Wright's writings, which may lead believers to an inappropriate interpretation that have a global impact, as well as providing correct interpretive guidelines for the synoptic gospels.
