The Day the Revolution Began de N T Wright

The Day the Revolution Began

Autor N T Wright
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 oct 2016

Suntem de părere că The Day the Revolution Began reprezintă o piesă esențială de studiu academic care forțează granițele dintre teologia biblică, istoria religiilor și etica socială. N T Wright abordează interdisciplinar momentul crucificării, refuzând să îl limiteze la o simplă tranzacție juridică pentru iertarea păcatelor. În schimb, găsim în această carte o demonstrație riguroasă a modului în care moartea lui Isus a marcat începutul unei revoluții cosmice, menite să reconcilieze întreaga creație. Credem că forța acestui volum rezidă în capacitatea autorului de a recalibra viziunea protestantă clasică. Wright argumentează că vocația creștină nu este una de evadare din lume, ci una de participare activă la restaurarea ei. Această lucrare completează perspectiva oferită de Crux de Dave Andrews, adăugând o bază exegetică mult mai densă și o ancorare profundă în narațiunea Vechiului Testament, acolo unde Crux se concentrează mai mult pe transformarea socială și politică imediată. În contextul operei sale, The Day the Revolution Began ocupă un loc central, fiind puntea necesară între analiza biografică din Paul și viziunea despre speranță din Surprised by Hope. Dacă în lucrările anterioare Wright a deconstruit miturile despre „plecarea în rai”, aici el fundamentează teologic mecanismul prin care „cerul” coboară pe pământ prin evenimentul Crucii. Stilul este cel specific unui erudit care scrie pentru un public larg: precis, argumentat și lipsit de ambiguități dogmatice, oferind o structură narativă care transformă lectura într-un exercițiu de reevaluare a întregii tradiții creștine occidentale.

Despre autor

N T Wright, fost episcop de Durham și profesor universitar de renume, este considerat unul dintre cei mai importanți cercetători ai Noului Testament din generația sa. Adesea comparat cu C.S. Lewis pentru capacitatea sa de a comunica idei teologice complexe unui public divers, Wright a publicat zeci de lucrări academice și de popularizare. Expertiza sa în iudaismul celui de-al Doilea Templu și în scrierile pauline îi permite să plaseze evenimentele biblice într-un context istoric riguros, transformând studiul Scripturii într-o disciplină vie și relevantă pentru provocările secolului XXI.

Descriere scurtă

The renowned scholar, Anglican bishop, and bestselling author widely considered to be the heir to C. S. Lewis contemplates the central event at the heart of the Christian faith—Jesus’ crucifixion—arguing that the Protestant Reformation did not go far enough in transforming our understanding of its meaning.
In The Day the Revolution Began, N. T. Wright once again challenges commonly held Christian beliefs as he did in his acclaimed Surprised by Hope. Demonstrating the rigorous intellect and breathtaking knowledge that have long defined his work, Wright argues that Jesus’ death on the cross was not only to absolve us of our sins; it was actually the beginning of a revolution commissioning the Christian faithful to a new vocation—a royal priesthood responsible for restoring and reconciling all of God’s creation.
Wright argues that Jesus’ crucifixion must be understood within the much larger story of God’s purposes to bring heaven and earth together. The Day the Revolution Began offers a grand picture of Jesus’ sacrifice and its full significance for the Christian faith, inspiring believers with a renewed sense of mission, purpose, and hope, and reminding them of the crucial role the Christian faith must play in protecting and shaping the future of the world.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

When Jesus of Nazareth died the horrible death of crucifixion at the hands of the Roman army, nobody thought him a hero. His movement was over. Nothing had changed. This was the sort of thing that Rome did best. Caesar was on his throne. Death, as usual, had the last word.
Except that in this case it didn’t. As Jesus’s followers looked back on that day, they came up with the shocking, scandalous, nonsensical claim that his death had launched a revolution. That by 6:00 p.m. on that dark Friday the world was a different place. They believed that with this event the one true God had suddenly and dramatically put into operation his plan for the rescue of the world. They saw it as the day the revolution began.”
Leading Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and bestselling author N. T. Wright argues that the church has lost touch with the revolutionary nature of the cross. Most Christians have been taught a reduced message that the death of Jesus was all about “God saving me from my ‘sin’ so that I could ‘go to heaven.’” According to Wright, this version misconstrues why Jesus had to die, the nature of our sins, and what our mission is in the world today.
In his paradigm-shifting book Surprised by Hope, Wright showed that the Bible’s message is not that heaven is where we go in the future; rather, the Bible sees the primary movement as heaven coming down to earth, redeeming the world, beginning now. In this companion book, Wright shows how Christianity’s central story tells how this revolution began on a Friday afternoon two thousand years ago and continues now through the church’s work today. Wright seeks to wake up the church to its own story, to invite us to join in Jesus’s work of redeeming the world—to join his revolution.

Recenzii

“With this work, N.T. Wright topples the simplistic, personalized view of the cross and the bloodthirsty God that once wrecked my own faith. Instead, we find the cross illuminated by a God that invites us to bring goodness into this world instead of trying to escape it.” — Mike McHargue, author of Finding God in the Waves and host of The Liturgists Podcast and Ask Science Mike
“The question ‘Why did Jesus have to die?’ has haunted the human race for two thousand years. Wright locates the crucifixion in the sweep of Israel’s story (and ours) with power, depth, and freshness of thought.” — John Ortberg, senior pastor of Menlo Church and author of All The Places To Go
“Many have wondered where N.T. Wright stood in the atonement debate. He applies his story of Israel and the church to the cross, setting it into a historical and narrative matrix that sheds light on the heart of the gospel that comes from the heart of God’s love.” — Scot McKnight, author of The King Jesus Gospel
“Wright’s unwavering faith in the resurrection is quite evident as he defends the Easter narratives on historical and theological grounds.” — America Magazine
“From the day Christ was crucified his followers have sought to understand the meaning of the cross. Wright has written one of the most important books on this subject ever written. Something deeper, more revolutionary, happened on the cross. This book will help you discover the meaning of the cross.” — Adam Hamilton, author of Making Sense of the Bible
“Relevant Recommends: Wright invites us to explore the crucifixion within the broader story of what God is doing in creation” — Relevant
“N. T. Wright’s The Challenge of Jesus revolutionized my theology. As I read The Day the Revolution Began, I kept thinking that it will similarly revolutionize the understanding of a new generation of readers. It is lucid, engaging, thorough, compelling, and profoundly important.” — Brian D. McLaren, author of We Make the Road By Walking
“In his new book, Wright explains that Jesus’ death does more than just get us into heaven.” — Christianity Today
“Wright’s bracing and thought-provoking exegesis should inform and encourage everyone concerned with Christianity’s continuing vitality.” — Booklist (Starred Review)
“Offers a comprehensive interpretation of Jesus’s sacrifice and its significance for the Christian Faith” — Publishers Weekly
“A thought-provoking book…both simple and world-shaking. Highly recommended.” — Library Journal (Starred Review)
“Wonderfully rich and provocative . . . this book could be entitled Your Cross Is Too Small. Our individualistic views of the atonement and, for that matter, the gospel, don’t begin to do justice to the full implications of the New Testament understanding of the implications of Jesus’s death and resurrection.” — The Covenant Companion
