Future

The regular team of Graham, Jane and Mike are joined by Lucy Peppiatt to discuss what really matters in theological education, and reflect on their years of experience in this area
This episode celebrates the 150th GodPod! Join the original team together for the 'Sesquicentennial' GodPod. Graham, Jane and Mike reflect on GodPod over the years and share some highlights and how they continue to engage in theological reflection.

This GodPod was recorded as part of a lecture given by Professor Jeremy Begbie on 'The Spirit and Christianity's Upside-Down Future' at St Mellitus College. This lecture was part of the McDonald Lecture Series – a collaboration between St Mellitus College and the McDonald Agape Foundation, enabled through a generous donation from the McDonald Agape Foundation.

What was the nature of Jesus’ resurrection, and how does it relate to our own hope for life after death? In fact, is such hope just for our own lives or for the whole of creation? Graham, Mike, and Jane discuss the bodily resurrection of Jesus and its affirmation of the goodness of physical matter, drawing out its implications for the way we live our lives now as well as our hope for the future. They also address the question of whether there is a hierarchy in heaven. Do some people get better mansions than others?
