When is Jesus going to return?

What does it mean to live faithfully in a politically divided world? How should Christians respond to immigration and power? And what do Paul’s views on time tell us about the return of Christ?Tom Wright and Mike Bird explore the tensions between faith and politics, the timing of God’s promises in Paul’s theology, and the challenges of religious clarity in a pluralistic world. They reflect on Jesus as an asylum seeker, the church’s role in holding authorities accountable, and why humility, wisdom, and spiritual responsibility are key in navigating life’s biggest questions.There is plenty of theology in Jewish culture about delay. Tom Wright has suggested that Paul would not have been surprised by the Lord’s 'delay' in returning. But if Paul had known that Christ’s return would still not have happened 2,000 years later, would it have altered his theology or pastoral urgency? Tom Wright also discusses why some people are born into a half-truncated version of Christianity and some not.
