God’s Homecoming: The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal
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).
