The Kingdom of God: A Biblical Theology - Paperback
by Nicholas Perrin (Author), Jonathan Lunde (Editor)
What does the Bible say about God's Kingdom and what Kingdom living looks like?
In the last hundred and fifty years the concept of the kingdom of God has emerged as one of the most important topics in theology, New Testament studies, and the life of the church.
In The Kingdom of God, Nicholas Perrin explores this dominant biblical metaphor, one that is paradoxically the meta-center and the mystery in Jesus' proclamation. After survey interpretations by figures from Ritschl to N. T. Wright, Perrin examines questions such as:
- What exactly is the kingdom of God?
- What do different Christian traditions mean when they talk about "the Kingdom"?
- How should we interpret Jesus' teachings about the Kingdom?
- What does it mean for the people of God and what does it mean for how they live in the world?
Perrin contends that the kingdom is inaugurated in Jesus' earthly ministry, but its final development awaits later events in history. In between the times, however, the people of God are called to participate in the reign of God by living out the distinctly kingdom-ethic through hope, forgiveness, love, and prayer.
