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

4.0

Absolutely wonderful book! So first of all, I rate books around what level they're aimed at, so this book is by far better than most books I've read. Academically he does a great job, although sometimes referencing a bit too much to his other books. His writing style is one of the best around nowadays and it's always a pleasure to read him. 4 stars because he sometimes skipped over certain critiques rather quickly, so parts left me unconvinced, other times he was a bit stubborn/ rather specific about how to do politics combined with religion, although I agree with him on this, there are others who might not and methods and what should be done should be more discussed, also outside of this book.
But to conclude: wonderful! Tearing down the old structures of ways of thinking and giving a framework to reconstruct a new one. Good stuff.
