Rethinking resurrection - An article

I have recently written an article entitled Rethinking Resurrection. A quick summary here:

• To prepare for Easter some have decided to fast from iPods and social networking.
• Future bodily resurrection (not disemboided bliss in heaven) is the true Christian hope.
• The proclamation of Christ's resurrection is counter-cultural, both in Paul's days and in our world today.
• The hope of future resurrection has everything to do with how we live here and now.
• Standing in solidarity with the poor is an outworking of our Christian hope.

Hope: The trust-filled conviction...

"Hope, as the future tense of faith, is the trust-filled conviction that God will soon fulfill all promises and vindicate the faithful; this conviction enables a life of dedication to God (faith) and to others (love) in spite of having to share in the cross of Christ now." (From Michael Gorman's Reading Paul, page 166)
