Description
N. T. Wright challenges the conventional understanding of heaven and the afterlife in this thought-provoking book. He argues that the Bible's message about what happens after we die has been misunderstood by many Christians.
Wright contends that the Christian concept of bodily resurrection is central to the faith, and he provides a compelling case for the literal resurrection of Jesus. He also explores the idea of a new heavens and a new earth, revealing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the second coming of Jesus.
By examining our understanding of life after death, Wright shows how it affects our understanding of life before death. He argues that the church's mission is not just to save souls, but to work towards God's kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
