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

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.
