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

God, I needed this book when I first read it. Wright answers so many questions my teachers had mostly sidestepped, either out of ignorance or apathy, when I was growing up. Having been so thoroughly shaped by this book then, it isn't as impactful now, but that's okay. I also, appropriately enough, see more clearly the places where his application trails off, leaving others to do what he "hasn't the space here to do." Good work, all. Let's continue it in the full faith that none of it is vain.
