N. T. Wright Quotes

Note, Though, Something Else Of Great Significance About The Whole Christian Theology Of Resurrection, Ascension, Second Coming, And Hope. This Theology Was Born Out Of Confrontation With The Political Authorities, Out Of The Conviction That Jesus Was Already The True Lord Of The World Who Would One Day Be Manifested As Such. The Rapture Theology Avoids This Confrontation Because It Suggests That Christians Will Miraculously Be Removed From This Wicked World. Perhaps That Is Why Such Theology Is Often Gnostic In Its Tendency Towards A Private Dualistic Spirituality And Towards A Political Laissez-faire Quietism. And Perhaps That Is Partly Why Such Theology With Its Dreams Of Armageddon, Has Quietly Supported The Political Status Quo In A Way That Paul Would Never Have Done.
