I haven’t read any of N.T. Wright's books—just a couple of magazine articles—but I know he’s regarded by many orthodox Catholics as a pretty solid theologian (he’s the Anglican Bishop of Durham). Here he is in Time, talking about the authentic Christian conception of heaven and asserting that many or most Christians have it wrong. He touches on some of the things that we were saying here in the comments a couple of days ago, e.g. the mistaken belief that we will be disembodied souls. He in turn seems to me to be perhaps going a bit beyond what we can confidently affirm. But isn’t his point about the new heaven and earth basically valid, and doesn't his suggestion—I think that’s all it is— about how we will exist in the other world seem to point in the right direction?
