Review
Rating: Unrated
I contend this is one of the best books written on modern theology (and not just because I think N.T. Wright is the Protestant pope). It’s a much needed treatment on heaven, resurrection, and the afterlife considering the church’s thinking has been shaped more by Plato than the New Testament. Wright writes on three levels (scholarly, midrange, popular), this being in the midrange. But it wouldn’t be a bad idea to read everything he’s written.
