"Easier reading than expected for a profound subject."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It really made me think and was not written purely for academics, though the subject requires thinking at a deeper level than many books. Profound, with plenty of Bible references that I could check myself, that were clearly supporting N.T. Wright's case. It makes you check what the Bible actually says.

"A stunning reminder of the importance of the resurrection."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The church has forgotten the centrality of the resurrection of all believers – Heaven is not our final destination! God commanded Adam and Eve to have dominion and He's never changed His mind. A very empowering perspective!

Description

In Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church, top-selling author and Anglican bishop, N.T. Wright tackles the biblical question of what happens after we die and shows how most Christians get it wrong. We do not "go to" heaven; we are resurrected and heaven comes down to earth--a difference that makes all of the difference to how we live on earth. Following N.T. Wright's resonant exploration of a life of faith in Simply Christian, the award-winning author whom Newsweek calls "the world's leading New Testament scholar" takes on one of life's most controversial topics, a matter of life, death, spirituality, and survival for everyone living in the world today.
