Plus, a new bonus episode, Tom and I discuss the biblical teaching about “paradise.”
Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle the New Testament passages that seem to challenge the idea that resurrection and new creation, rather than “going to heaven”, are the Bible’s ultimate hope. What did Jesus mean when he told the thief on the cross, “Today you will be with me in paradise”? Are the “many rooms” of John 14 really eternal mansions in heaven? And if our treasure is stored in heaven, don’t we eventually have to go there to enjoy it? Tom explains the crucial distinction between death, the intermediate state and final resurrection, and why “heaven” is better understood as God’s space rather than humanity’s final destination.

Here is the latest History’s Last Stand episode where I talk to Dr. Sarah Irving-Stonebraker about the study of history being under siege.
Historian and Priests of History author Sarah Irving-Stonebraker joins Mike Bird to explore why history departments are disappearing, why the past has become a battleground in today’s culture wars, and whether any historian can truly escape ideological bias. From the British Empire and Indigenous Australia to Marxism, Christianity and the origins of human rights, this is a fascinating conversation about who gets to tell our history, what happens when we lose it, and why the past may matter more than ever.
