>N. T. Wright, Jim West’s favorite theologian, said in an interview with Time that the common view of heaven held by most Christians is a “distortion and serious diminution of Christian hope.”

Quoting John Polkinghorne, Wright said that at the resurrection, “God will download our software into his hardware until the time he gives us new hardware to run the software again for ourselves.”

Very profound!
