Turned into library. Maybe would finish. Kind of slow. Was trying to check out again but had problems with Kobo.
NT Wrights conversational style can frustrate at times, but I’m Surprised by Hope he puts forth a clear case for Christian resurrection. What historical evidence points to it, and what scripture says on life after life after death as he puts it. A challenge to the Christian and can clear up misguided ideas in the non Christian. A good read, even if it doesn’t all make sense in my little peanut brain.
This book is brilliant. N.T. Wright is brilliant. I can’t recommend this book highly enough.
slow-paced
I read this on the recommendation of two people whom I respect (who don't know each other). However, I have been puzzled as to why they recommended it throughout my struggle to read (abandoned/DNF) and then listen to this book. I did not find it particularly informative or inspiring. I guess I should give it one star, but I'll leave it at two out of respect for those who made the suggestion. Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe I'm not the intended audience, but my sense is that the book just wasn't that good.
