N. T. Wright Quotes

In Particular, We Must Take Account Of The Well-known And Striking Saying Of Jesus To The Dying Brigand Beside Him, Recorded By Luke (23.43). 'Today,' He Said, 'you Will Be With Me In Paradise.' 'Paradise' Is Not The Final Destination; It Is A Beautiful Resting Place On The Way There. But Notice. If There Is Anyone In The New Testament To Whom We Might Have Expected The Classic Doctrine Of Purgatory To Apply, It Would Be This Brigand. He Had No Time For Amendment Of Life; No Doubt He Had All Kinds Of Sinful Thoughts And Desires In What Was Left Of His Body. All The Standard Arguments In Favour Of Purgatory Apply To Him. And Yet Jesus Assures Him Of His Place In Paradise, Not In A Few Days Or Weeks, Not If His Friends Say A Lot Of Prayers And Masses For Him, But 'today.
