Course Description
The renowned scholar, Anglican bishop, and bestselling author widely considered to be the heir to C. S. Lewis contemplates the central event at the heart of the Christian faith—Jesus’ crucifixion—arguing that the Protestant Reformation did not go far enough in transforming our understanding of its meaning.
In The Day the Revolution Began, N. T. Wright once again challenges commonly held Christian beliefs as he did in his acclaimed Surprised by Hope. Demonstrating the rigorous intellect and breathtaking knowledge that have long defined his work, Wright argues that Jesus’ death on the cross was not only to absolve us of our sins; it was actually the beginning of a revolution commissioning the Christian faithful to a new vocation—a royal priesthood responsible for restoring and reconciling all of God’s creation.
Wright argues that Jesus’ crucifixion must be understood within the much larger story of God’s purposes to bring heaven and earth together. The Day the Revolution Began offers a grand picture of Jesus’ sacrifice and its full significance for the Christian faith, inspiring believers with a renewed sense of mission, purpose, and hope, and reminding them of the crucial role the Christian faith must play in protecting and shaping the future of the world.

There are so many wonderful treasures shared in these teachings and help given to learn how to better see other treasures when I learn at my own leisure.

Jesus' death on the cross is not a tragedy; it's not the last thing in a sad story. The cross changes the world. The cross begins a revolution. What is this revolution? What does the cross really mean? The answers to those questions are in this wonderful course by Professor Wright.

So far, the course seems to be helpful/
By John Graham on 7/10/2020
I've been wrestling with the real meaning of the cross. I've tried reading the book 'the day the revolution began' but didn't get far. So it seemed obvious to do this course as I'm a fan of NT . For many years I've worked with substitutionary atonement alone but that doesn't seem to contain the enormity of what happened at calvary that day.
By Edward Klenk on 7/3/2020
I believe that the cross is central to understanding Jesus and the scriptures. Since visiting the ancient sites of Rome as a teenager, I have been compelled to recognize the importance of the death of Jesus and its mystery.
By Marilynn Knott on 6/25/2020
Yes I am enjoying the sessions. I do not think the multiple choice questions always match what is included in the sessions. I even went back and listened to one segment again and the information required to answer one of the questions was not included.
