As you know I have been reading N.T Wright's book "Surprised by Hope." Some people have asked who he is, so I thought I would add a link to an interview with him. A friend shared this with me today. The interview actually gives a fairly good summary of N.T. Wright's premise in the book... when he is able to get a word in edge wise with Colbert. Anyway, Colbert... is always good for a laugh! Let me know what you think about his two-stage afterlife existence.

Colbert is such a talent but, as with most of his interviews, his guest is really there as a foil for his sparkling wit. Fun to watch but not the best forum for the bishop (a talent of a different order) to explain the finer points of eschatology. Best to read his book before commenting on the few points he manages to get across in this 'interview'.
i want to talk to you about this book sometime. yeah?? i actually wrote about it on my blog...check it out.
I agree with Mick that without reading the book - its tough to say I fervently agree with the Bishop. However, I definitely agree that most of Christians believe some completely unfounded ideas about Heaven - and that, post-millenial kingdom - all the saints alive and all the saints "chilling with God in Heaven" - come and rock out in the New Jerusalem on a New Heaven and Earth. And definitely Harp's with Whammy bars... I might try and build that while I'm still in this body though.
