Description
What if Christians have misunderstood what Jesus really came to do?
In this special live edition of Unbelievable?, John Nelson challenges N.T. Wright on these questions as they explore his new book, Into the Heart of Isaiah ~ Shop worldwide here: https://link.amazon/B01R3v8hB
For centuries, Christians have looked to the prophet Isaiah for clues about Jesus. But according to leading New Testament scholar N.T. Wright, we may have been missing the bigger picture.
Did Jesus come to take us to heaven—or to transform the world? Why would an all-powerful God reveal himself through suffering rather than strength? And have we been reading ancient prophecies through the lens of what we already believe?
