Is hope simply about our ultimate future destination?

This course addresses many questions people ask about ‘where we go’ after we die, including ideas about heaven, hell, and purgatory. Professor N.T. Wright explains why Jesus’ resurrection offers surprising answers by the God of hope who came to take charge of his world and dwell with his people in Jesus of Nazareth and through the Spirit. Over a series of 24 lectures you will learn how the Christian hope for life in God’s new creation should inspire and inform the mission of the church and individual followers of Jesus today.
