Dreams of Hope: Jerusalem looking forward

This talk is a fitting climax to the grand sweep of this series. Iain finishes with ‘hope’ or the vision of the future that Jerusalem gave the world. Importantly he begins by demolishing the Greek notion of the intrinsic immortality of the soul, and he explains that this is not the vision of hope here. He grounds God’s promises of the future in the great covenants of the Bible and their increasing scope, until they climax in the incarnation where God became human in order that humans might become like God forever.

What is glory?

Was Dawkins right about the angry God?
