In this transformative conversation, renowned theologian Dr. N.T. Wright challenges the Western church’s Platonized view of salvation and calls pastors back to the Bible’s actual vision: new heaven and new earth. Discover why understanding resurrection, not just afterlife, changes everything about how we live, lead, and witness today.
Dr. Wright unpacks Ephesians’ cosmic vision, explains how Western Christianity moralized salvation instead of vocation, and shows why the church is God’s multicultural project displaying new creation to watching principalities and powers.
🔥5 Key Takeaways:
- The Bible emphasizes a transformative hope for creation, not an escape from it.
- The church has a responsibility to engage in social justice and beauty.
- God’s kingdom is already present and active in the world.
- Misunderstandings about God’s anger can distort the gospel message.
- The church should model unity and diversity as a reflection of God’s kingdom as seen in Ephesians.
