What Happens After We Die?

One of our adult Sunday School classes at Lancaster First United Methodist Church will be studying the excellent book, "Surprised by Hope" by New Testament bible scholar, Dr. Tom Wright. The study begins Sunday, January 30, at 11 A.M.

.
This study helps to explore questions such as:

• What happens after we die?
• What is heaven? What is hell?
• What is meant by the word, "resurrection?"
• What happened on that first Easter morning?
• What difference did Jesus' resurrection make?
• In what ways have we been influenced by non-biblical understandings of the meaning of resurrection?
• The Apostles' Creed says, "I believe in the resurrection of the body." What does that mean?

The author of "Surprised by Hope," Dr. Wright has carefully researched the meaning of the word, "resurrection" in the context of the biblical/Jewish understanding. By reading this book and participating in this video study, participants will have a much better understanding of how the resurrection of Jesus impacts our view of the after-life, the mission of the church, and the future hope of a renewed creation.
