Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Looking back at the book as a whole, which week's discussion — or which single idea from Wright — surprised you most? What made it surprising?
2.Wright's central thesis is that the Christian hope is resurrection and new creation, not souls escaping to a disembodied heaven. Has this thesis fully persuaded you? If so, what was the turning point? If not, what questions remain?
3.Think about your own church community. Which of Wright's critiques hit closest to home — the escapist eschatology, the neglect of justice, the disconnection of evangelism from social action, the underplaying of Easter? What would it look like to begin addressing that specific weakness?
