Nothing could be further from the scriptural truth, N. T. Wright contends. In God's Homecoming, Wright excavates the forgotten story of God's original purpose to dwell with us and make his home--and ours--in this new creation.

In his groundbreaking Surprised by Hope, Wright dismantled the "going to heaven" narrative. In God's Homecoming, he returns with a panoramic pilgrimage tracing God's homecoming promise from Genesis through Revelation. When we read the Bible as a whole, Wright argues, we do not find a narrative of souls ascending a spiritual ladder to heaven, but of God coming down to dwell with us.
