N. T. Wright's biblical perspectives on the afterlife are more fully explained in this interesting interview:
Rethinking Life After Death (NT Wright) - YouTube
If posters watch the video and want to discuss the many theological points he makes, I will chime in with the points where I agree and disagree with him. Many evangelical scholars consider him the foremost NT scholar. In fact, he is at most considered one of the foremost conservative Christian NT scholars, but is not considered a major NT scholar in the eyes of secular NT scholarship. But exposure to his ideas will likely help readers clarify and sharpen their theological perspectives. For that reason alone, the video is well worth watching.
