Re: Gehenna.
I don’t know the details of Wright’s views, since I haven’t yet gotten around to reading his ‘big books’ (though I have read some of his little books). Nevertheless, from some of the articles and sermons at ntwrightpage.com, he believes in the ‘second coming’, but also argues that most of the texts which have been traditionally understood as teaching the doctrine don’t in fact teach it. He too views the language about the ‘coming’ of Christ largely in terms of the vision in Daniel 7 (though I think he and Andrew may differ on their views of Paul’s eschatology), and argues that most of the ‘judgment’ (and therefore ‘gehenna’) language in the gospels refers to judgment on Israel in the prophetic, historical sense—a sense nicely fulfilled in 70AD.
Beyond that, I’m not sure. But New Testament studies have never been more exciting to me than they are these days.
