SURPRISED BY HOPE
By Tom Wright
SPCK. 338 pages. £12.99
ISBN 978-0-281-05617-0

This is an outstanding and important book. It is an exposition and defence of the Christian hope, drawing heavily on Wright’s more scholarly works, especially The Resurrection of the Son of God (which is a boon for those of us who are never going to make it through massive tomes).

Most of all it is an attempt to make the connection between future hope and present living; to show the logic of the church’s present mission in light of its future destiny.
