In case any one missed Bishop NT Wright on Stephen Colbert last night...I don't really agree a lot with Bishop Wright, but I think that there were some good things in this interview. Anyone else have any thoughts?

I really enjoyed the conversation...Stephen knows more than most pundits about Christian history and theology.
I was disappointed because Wright's book has a lot about this-world activism in some of its chapters: saving the environment because then we are co-creators with God in making Heaven and Earth.
But most of the interview was conjecture about what happens when we die, which, no matter if you are a bishop, faux-pundit, or a pastor with a blog...you don't KNOW! So, I found it disappointing to focus on the true conjecture, when the lifestyle and missional changes were left behind.
I haven't read this book by Wright-- it's on my Amazon wish list for someone to get for me...But, I would agree watching it back that there was a lot placed on the what happens when we die.
