Surprised By Hope
Rethinking Heaven, The Resurrection, and The Mission of the Church.
If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?" Christians for many " years have been asking this question. As award-winning author N.T. Wright
points out however, the answer isn't heaven. In Surprised by Hope, Wright, one
of today's premier Bible scholars, asserts that Christianity's most distinctive
idea is bodily resurrection. He provides a magisterial defense for a literal
resurrection of Jesus and shows how this became the cornerstone for the
Christian community's hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end
of the age. Wright then explores our expectation of new heavens and a new " earth, revealing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with " the second coming" of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this " will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly
affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew
the whole creation - and if this has already begun in Jesus's resurrection -
the church cannot stop at saving souls," but must anticipate the eventual " renewal by working for God's kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and
hope in the present life.
