Tom Wright - Heaven is Not the End of the World (N38)

New Testament scholar extraordinaire, Tom Wright (how does he write so many books?!) is back on the show. This time Tom's helping us get our heads round the connection between academics and the local church and what exactly our Christian hope is (we might go to heaven when we die, but we're certainly not going to stay there!). “The whole notion of the Kingdom of God is not about God being king over this individual, that individual, whatever. It’s about God becoming king in a fresh way over the whole creation.” - Tom Wright Books, quotes, links → The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.
