God's Homecoming: The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal by N. T. Wright
God's Homecoming: The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal
by N. T. Wright

When we read the Bible as a whole, Wright argues, we do not find a narrative of souls ascending a spiritual ladder to heaven, but of God coming down to dwell with us. Revolutionary and grounded in biblical research, Wright leads readers through the movements of the promise: God created heaven and earth to be his own home, he filled the temple with his presence, then the church with the Holy Spirit, and promises that the all creation will again be filled with his glory. He traces how the popular Christian reading got it wrong--as well as the radical transformation that awaits us and the church today if we return to God's original vision.
