God's Homecoming: The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal

Building on his bestselling Surprised by Hope, Tom Wright offers a
comprehensive investigation into what the hope of salvation really
means in terms of biblical teaching about the resurrection of the
body.
In Surprised by Hope, Tom Wright transformed how millions
understood life after death - showing that authentic Christian hope
isn't about "going to heaven," but about "heaven coming to earth"
in the new creation.
Now, in God's Homecoming, world renowned theologian Tom Wright
takes this vision a step further. Through a powerful exploration of Paul's
letters and the Hebrew prophets, he reveals that biblical hope is not
limited to individual salvation, but the renewal and reconciliation of all
creation. At the heart of this hope is the promise that the Creator God
will return to dwell among his people, filling the whole world with his
glorious, healing presence.
Wright's in depth reading of Scripture reframes our understanding of
grace, showing that Christianity is not about escaping the world but
about God's initiative to restore it. When we stop asking, "How can I get
to heaven?" and instead grasp God's desire to come and dwell with us,
in us, and through us, we rediscover the true depth of the gospel: a
story suffused with love, renewal, and divine purpose.
A profound follow-up to Surprised by Hope, God's Homecoming is
essential reading for anyone interested in Christian theology, biblical
studies, the afterlife, and the hope of resurrection, as well as fans of
Tom Wright (NT Wright).Read less
