I've read some eye-opening and incredibly helpful books on theology before - but this has probably been the most challenging. There was a point where I struggled with the conventional (but ultimately inaccurate) perspectives Wright was making me let go of, but his insight has been invaluable for me when it comes to marrying the tension between the physical world and the spiritual one, our present and our future, the way we are now and the way we will be. It's precisely where these things intersect that Christ met the world, and it's there that I want to live. A wonderful resource, well-researched and backed by Scripture at every turn. If I can accuse Wright of anything, it's of being occasionally too long-winded - but that's excusable, as certain readers are probably reeling so much at points that they need the repetition.
I enjoyed this book a lot.
"New Testament" Wright is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors!
This was a very good read and gave me lots of understanding and analysis on the Bible.
Would recommend!
4.7/5

Excellent book on bodily resurrection and outlining what Scripture actually says about death and what happens after. Refreshing and filled with hope not only for the future but also for the present. Loved the practical application of what this means for us as the church today and to see how the things we do in pursuit of justice, beauty and evangelism are not wasted.

Typical NT Wright
I honesty plucked a few chapters out of the book for sermon prep. But in typical NT Wright fashion, I found his work to be illuminated, clarifying, and edifying.

Gosh what a refreshing book! I really loved reading NT Wright and his picture of the new creation. He did an amazing job showing the common misconceptions we have of heaven and by painting the picture that the Bible shows in God creating the new heaven and new earth, then showing what that means for us today. Incredible book with a new beautiful way to look at the life ahead of us.
Really enjoyed this book... my first NT Wright book to read.

Tom Wright at his best. Every Christian should read this book. The takedown of the platonisation of the gospel, his call to mission, his call to re-highlight Easter is beautiful.
I critique some of his takes in being either too tame, too much of a stretch, or not going into the detail I would’ve wanted (but that is to be expected)
I am shocked that Rob Bell recommended this book in ‘love wins’ because Wright’s point hardly aligns with his at the end.
