If you died tonight, do you know where you would go? Most Christians would answer this question incorrectly. In Surprised by Hope, New Testament scholar N. T. Wright explains that nearly all Christians are wrong when it comes to life after death. Wright, author of the modern classic Simply Christian, explains that according to the Scriptures, all souls go to an interim afterlife to await resurrection upon the second coming of Christ. Wright argues that this makes a fundamental difference in how we should live our lives; we should not merely wait to go to heaven, but instead actively work towards creating a heaven on earth. This fascinating and informative book is perfect for anyone interested in the meaning of life – not only after death but, beforehand as well. N. T. Wright is Bishop of Durham for the Church of England. He is one of today’s leading theologians and author of Jesus and the Victory of God. He has been featured on “ABC News," “Dateline," and “Fresh Air." He taught New Testament studies for twenty years at Cambridge, McGill and Oxford Universities. Among his many published works are Simply Christian, The Challenge of Jesus, The Meaning of Jesus (co-authored with Marcus Borg), and What Saint Paul Really Said. “N. T. “Tom" Wright is one of the most formidable figures in the world of Christian thought."– TIME | Surprised by Hope by N. T. Wright, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
