Course Description
InThe Day the Revolution Began, N. T. Wright once again challenges commonly held Christian beliefs as he did in his acclaimedSurprised 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 vocationa royal priesthood responsible for restoring and reconciling all of Gods creation.
Wright argues that Jesus crucifixion must be understood within the much larger story of Gods purposes to bring heaven and earth together.
