God's Homecoming : The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal

---

Outline : From today's foremost Bible scholar, how a misreading of scripture became mainstream - and how we can reclaim the scriptural truth and authentic hope in a chaotic age. Did God really create a world he loves, only to leave it? Many Christians have absorbed this persistent misunderstanding of Scripture, along with the escape-hatch fantasy that one day the faithful will leave it, too. Nothing could be further from the truth, theologian N. T. Wright contends - rather, God's purpose and promise has always been to dwell with us, making his home and ours in his creation. God's Homecoming picks up where Wright's paradigm - shifting Surprised by Hope left off, tracing God's promise to return and renew the world in a panoramic pilgrimage from Genesis through Revelation. First. God created heaven and earth to be his own home, filled the temple with his presence and the church with the Holy Spirit, and then promised that all creation will once again be filled with his glory. Wright argues, then, that contrary to popular assumption, the Bible is not a narrative of souls ascending a spiritual ladder to heaven, but one of God coming down to live among us. Revolutionary and grounded in biblical study, God's Homecoming walks us through this promise's ramifications for our lives and faith today. Wright demonstrates 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 vision. Until we recover this forgotten story, Wright warns, we will keep distorting the Bible's message. Yet, he argues, its recovery could be the key to revitalizing every aspect of Christian life as we know it.
