Tom Wright
What do Christians hope for? To leave this wicked world and go to 'heaven'? For the 'kingdom of God' to grow gradually on earth? What do we mean by the 'resurrection of the body'? And how does all this affect the way we live in the here and now?
Tom Wright addresses these questions in this lively and thoroughly biblical book. He describes the persistent confusion about 'the last things' in both Church and world. Then, having explained why Christians believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus himself, he explores the biblical hope for 'new heavens and new earth', and shows how the second coming of Jesus, and the eventual resurrection of the dead, belong within that larger picture.
'Strips away popular sentimentality and medieval imagery, allowing the original biblical writers to speak to us afresh. . . It gives substance to our hope and deserves widespread and careful reading.'
Reform
'Builds on C.S. Lewis' succinct defence of the faith and takes it to a new level.'
World Magazine
'This book is Tom Wright at his finest.'
Rob Bell
'Unmissable.'

Its most powerful takeaway is the reality of "life after life after death." Wright highlights that floating in heaven as disembodied spirits is only temporary—our ultimate destination is bodily resurrection on a renewed Earth. Furthermore, realizing that Jesus resides in heaven right now with a physical, resurrected body makes His role as our sympathizing High Priest (Hebrews) deeply personal.
This biblical perspective offers profound comfort amid life's hardships. Knowing that present pain, illness, and unfulfilled potential are temporary—and that we will be physically restored—gives me the hope to endure, confident that our labor in Christ is never in vain.
