God made humans to reflect his glory, his love, his wisdom into the world, and in the new creation God will not revoke this vocation. He will gloriously fulfill it. We will become more human, not less.

N.T. Wright
Nicholas Thomas Wright ist ein britischer Neutestamentler, anglikanischer Theologe und ehemaliger Bischof von Durham. Bekannt wurde er durch historische Arbeiten über Jesus und Paulus sowie seine Beteiligung an der „Neuen Paulusperspektive“, deren Verständnis der Rechtfertigung im konservativ-reformierten Spektrum anhaltende Kritik hervorrief. Bibellesern erschließt sein Werk die jüdischen Kontexte des Neuen Testaments und stellt die leibliche Auferstehung sowie die Erneuerung der Schöpfung in das Zentrum christlicher Hoffnung.
