Summary of N. T. Wright's The Day the Revolution Began

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The death of Jesus, and the claim that it launched a revolution, was a pivotal moment in human history. It marked the end of one era and the start of another. Christians today do not see it this way, however, and most people outside the church do not see it that way either.

#2 The early Christian writers used some stunning expressions of delight and gratitude when they mentioned Jesus’s death. But by themselves, without paying attention to the larger elements in the picture, these expressions can lead us into a private or even selfish way of seeing things.

#3 The cross is a Christian symbol that represents the suffering and defeat of Jesus Christ, but for Christians it also represents the end of death and the hope of new beginnings for every human being.

#4 The British Museum received a cross made by the Eritrean and Somali refugees who were on board the boat that was wrecked off the Italian island of Lampedusa in 2013. The museum’s director, Neil McGregor, said that the cross symbolized the suffering that this small wooden object would represent.
