'Redemption is not simply making creation a bit better, as the optimistic evolutionist would try and suggest. Nor is it rescuing spirits and souls from an evil material world, as the gnostic would want to say. It is the remaking of creation, having dealt with the evil which is defacing and distorting it. And it is accomplished by the same God, now known in Jesus Christ, through whom it was made.'
Tom Wright, Surprised by Hope, p.108.
