Description: The Day the Revolution Began by Tom Wright An incisive, in-depth investigation into the meaning and purpose of Jesuss death by one of the worlds leading biblical theologians FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In The Day the Revolution Began Tom Wright invites you to consider the full meaning of the event at the heart of the Christian faith - Jesus crucifixion.As he did in his acclaimed Surprised by Hope, Wright once again challenges commonly held beliefs, this time arguing that the Protestant Reformation did not go far enough in reshaping our understanding of the Cross.With his characteristic rigour and incisiveness, he goes back to the New Testament to show that Jesus death not only releases us from the guilt and power of sin, but is nothing less than the beginning of a world-wide revolution that continues to this day – a revolution that creates and energizes a movement responsible for restoring and reconciling the whole of Gods creation.The Day the Revolution Began will take you to a new level in your appreciation of the meaning of Jesus sacrifice: opening up its powerful and amazing implications, inspiring you with a renewed sense of purpose and hope, and reminding you of the crucial role you can play in the world-transforming movement that Jesus started. Notes Considers the full meaning of Christs crucifixion, the event at the heart of the Christian faith. By the author of Surprised By Hope, it argues that the crucifixion was the start of a worldwide revolution that continues to this day.
