The resurrection completes the inauguration of God's kingdom. . . . It is the decisive event demonstrating thet God's kingdom really has been launched on earth as it is in heaven. The message of Easter is that God's new world has been unveiled in Jesus Christ and that you're now invited to belong to it.

I am convinced that when we bring our griefs and sorrows within the story of God's own grief and sorrow, and allow them to be held there, God is able to bring healing to us and new possibilities to our lives. That is, of course, what Good Friday and Easter are all about.
N. T. Wright
Looking back to the earlier centuries of the church, most of the great teachers were also bishops and vice versa. It's only fairly recently that the church has had this great divide.

I am an advocate of one form of the New Perspective. But there are as many new perspectives as there are people writing about it.

All history involves selection, and it is always human beings who do the selecting.

A 'conservative believer' must be someone who believes that Jesus was truly human as well as truly divine.

The resurrection gives you a sense of what God wants to do for the whole world.
