Summary

What is the 'divine council' in the Bible? Who receives a 'resurrection body'? And how can Christians be sure of their salvation?In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle some of the most fascinating and personal questions in Christian theology. They discuss the mysterious concept of a divine council, what is it and how it fits within biblical monotheism, and what it tells us about God's relationship with spiritual beings. Together they discuss the nature of the resurrection body, exploring whether it's reserved for believers or given to all. Finally, they offer pastoral wisdom on assurance of salvation, wrestling with the balance between faith, obedience, and spiritual confidence. Got a question for Tom?
