Description

What do Christians hope for? Tom Wright explores the present confusion about future hope in both church and world, and how it affects the way we live in the here and now.

Wright argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. He convincingly shows that if God intends to renew the whole creation, 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.

This book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life not only after death but before it. Lively and accessible, it offers a provocative and wide-ranging exploration of the biblical hope for 'new heavens and new earth'.
