God's plan is not to abandon this world, the world which he said was "very good." Rather, he intends to remake it. And when he does he will raise all his people to new bodily life to live in it. That is the promise of the Christian gospel.

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.
