Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church by N.T. Wright

1.0

For any serious student of Christianity, this one is not worth reading. A really, really, hackneyed, pointless attempt to force physical resurrection of Jesus into being an historical reality. If you think the actual, historical, physical resurrection of Jesus is the actual point of Christianity, you will spend your entire life, spinning your wheels, trying to make a fact out of an absurd tale. If you can live with the mythos of the resurrection and accept the mysterious, your faith has a chance to be about something other than pre-Enlightenment creedal statements. That's all the time I'll waste reviewing this one. It sucks.
