Story5 out of 5 stars 647
For years, Christians have been asking, "If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?" It turns out that many believers have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian's future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright asserts that Christianity's most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection, and provides a magisterial defense for a literal resurrection of Jesus. Wright then explores our expectation of "new heavens and a new earth".

Rock Solid Theology
Reviewed: 05-19-23
This book supplanted several of my major theological beliefs. Wright has put rock solid theology around many of the same themes that C.S. Lewis explored via fiction and metaphor. I am convinced that both Wright’s diagnosis of the current church, and his view of what God intends for humans to do after being saved, are correct. This is a must-own book.
