Will God resurrect my cremated body?

Cremation, grace & Resurrection:. This week Tom tackles what does grace really mean in the Bible? Does cremation affect the Christian hope of resurrection? And how should we understand Jesus’ relationship to the Old Testament law?

In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird explore the deep connections between 'hesed' in the Old Testament and 'charis' in the New, offering a rich picture of God’s love and faithfulness. They tackle the sensitive topic of cremation and Christian burial, affirming the unshakable hope of resurrection. Finally, together Mike and Tom unpack how Jesus fulfils— not abolishes —the law, showing the continuity between the covenants and the forward-looking nature of practices like the Sabbath.
