The Day the Revolution Began

The renowned scholar, Anglican bishop, and bestselling author widely
considered to be the heir to C. S. Lewis contemplates the central event at the
heart of the Christian faith-Jesus' crucifixion-arguing that
the Protestant Reformation did not go far enough in transforming our
understanding of its meaning.



In The Day the Revolution Began, N. T. Wright once again
challenges commonly held Christian beliefs as he did in his
acclaimed Surprised by Hope. Demonstrating the rigorous intellect
and breathtaking knowledge that have long defined his work, Wright argues that
Jesus' death on the cross was not only to absolve us of our sins; it was
actually the beginning of a revolution commissioning the Christian faithful to
a new vocation-a royal priesthood responsible for restoring and
reconciling all of God's creation.



Wright argues that Jesus' crucifixion must be understood within
the much larger story of God's purposes to bring heaven and earth
together. The Day the Revolution Began offers a grand
picture of Jesus' sacrifice and its full significance for the Christian
faith, inspiring believers with a renewed sense of mission, purpose, and hope,
and reminding them of the crucial role the Christian faith must play in
protecting and shaping the future of the world.
