The Bible and self-forgiveness? The Ascension and were the Samaritans really Israelites?

Can you forgive yourself? Were the Samaritans really Israelites? And what actually happened at Jesus' Ascension? In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird answer three thoughtful listener questions about forgiveness, biblical history and one of the most overlooked events in the life of Jesus. Along the way they explore healing from guilt, the relationship between Jews and Samaritans, and why the Ascension is central to understanding Christ's reign today.
